    0.2 If he doesn't get you on the first, he'll get you with his second. Mo Siraj with a first strike! Back of a length delivery outside off. He carves it but not in the gap. Nishant Sindhu, on debut, runs to his left, dives and takes a lovely catch at deep backward point. 2/1
    5.2 Pace is pace yaar! A 152kph thunderbolt from Rabada and Prabhsimran is walking back for 15! On a length on off stump, Prabhsimran wants to go over covers like his captain did in the previous over. Only manages to splice a drive and cover takes the simplest of catches 35/3
    0.3 Oh, does Siraj have two in two? Buttler is up in appeal right away. The umpire takes his time and gives him caught behind. Connolly isn't sure and chats with Prabhsimran before going up. Excellent first ball from Siraj. Good length ball that starts just around off and decks back sharply into Connolly. He drives on the up, and replays confirm there is a thin inside-edge through to Buttler. 2/2
    8.4 Chopped on and Iyer has to go back! Holder gets into the act. PBKS in all sorts now. Rising back of a length ball on off stump at 134.6kph. Iyer wants to run that fine but that's too close to his body. He gets a thin inside-edge and the bails light up. Iyer has a long look at the pitch, but that won't change the result. 47/5
    6.3 Oh, that's a poor shot and Wadhera's struggles continue. He falls for a six-ball duck. Lovely lines from Holder. On a length with a hint of nibble away from Wadhera, who feels for it, gets a thick outside edge and Buttler does the rest diving to his left. Holder is off on a celebratory run. Look at him go! 36/4
    15.6 And now it's all over for Shedge. Rabada wins the battle. Back of a length and Shedge goes for a nothing cut, too close to his body especially with that bounce on the delivery. Edge goes to the keeper and Shedge seems displeased with himself, as he should be. Job was left to be done and now PBKS are six down. Rabada fell over in his follow-through and aurafarms after the dismissal, as he summersaults back up to his legs 126/6
    17.4 Stoinis has banged this one straight to Washington Sundar at long-on! Stoinis shuffled deeeep into the off side, expecting this delivery. Back of a length and rose at him, but the angle across him just cramped up the shot. He mistimes this and angry with himself as he walks back to the dugout 141/7
    19.5 Gill is nonchalant as you like! Ball was fired in on a length and outside wide marker once more. Jansen goes for it anyway, on the back foot and powers it straight to covers. Gill is lying in wait and he has to use his own long arms to grab this one into his dive. He lies on the ground for a few beats but when he gets back up, signals that it's always been out. Whaddagrab 162/9
    17.5 Holder is off on his celebratory, knee-pumping jig again! What a delivery from the big man. Was on a length, and this beauty jagged back in and kept just a tad bit low as it zoomed past Bartlett. The batter was too tall and misread the line. Loses his off stump as a result 141/8

    14.5 Twist in the tale! Angst for GT. Sudharsan was looking so good and had crossed fifty too, but it will feel too little as he pulls this straight to deep square leg. Was a well-directed bouncer rising right at his helmet. Sudharsan went for the pull but just couldn't get under it enough to put it beyond the fielder at the ropes 124/4
    1.3 Straight up, straight up and Connolly swallows that up. Arshdeep is off on a celebratory run. Will this be his night? Goes a touch fuller now with a hint of nibble away from Gill. He wanted to go across the line but only manages a top-edge that spoons up. Connolly at backward point takes a comfortable catch 16/1
    8.1 BUTTLER DEPARTS! Vyshak with a timely strike. Is there a way back for PBKS? Buttler jumps down to the length ball on off stump. He wants to go over covers, but the ball doesn't come onto the bat as easily as Buttler expects. He gets it right off the bottom of the bat with the ball going straight up. Iyer runs to his left from mid-off and completes a simple catch 69/2
    11.3 Sindhu goes for a big slash but he won't have the last laugh! Short and sat up, sliding past his eyeline. He hoicks this and should have sent it over the ropes, really. But it is timed to perfection right to Vyshak, at deep backward point. Seamers in action even when they're not bowling, for PBKS 94/3

    16.6 Tewatia has cracked this to Bartlett! He's sunk to his haunches here, in disbelief. Back of a length outside off. He is down on one leg and has absolutely smashed this one. But too flat and picked out deep square leg to perfection 140/5
    18.5 Wowwww, do we have a plot twist after all! Connolly has taken a magnificent catch down at cow corner. He runs in and scoops the ball up in his hands, and slides in the grass on his stomach to rub it in for GT. Was back of a length and Holder swiped across the line. For a moment, looked like he'd send it over the ropes, but it held in the pitch once more. Just didn't get the elevation he needed from this 152/6
