4.1
Sam Curran to Watson, out Bowled!! Cleaned up! Watson's struggles continue.. Apart from one innings, he has looked woefully out of form.

Watson b Sam Curran 7(11) [4s-1]

19.4
Shami to Kedar Jadhav, out Bowled!! This is turning out to be an outstanding final over from Shami.

Kedar Jadhav b Shami 0(1)



19.2
Shami to Rayudu, out Caught by Mandeep!! Straight down the throat of Mandeep at deep mid-wicket. Rayudu is disappointed, reckons he should've got it away over the ropes. Fullish, nipping back in a bit and Rayudu wallops it off his pads. Didn't impart enough power to clear the fielder and Mandeep doesn't drop those.

Rayudu c Mandeep b Shami 1(2)

3.6
Harbhajan to Rahul, SIX, 19 balls | 52 runs -- the third fastest of the season. And it's just as stunning a shot to get there, the usual straight high-elbowed lofted punch. It's not everyday that you leave Gayle starnded at 4 off 5 balls while you have your fun

10.4
Harbhajan to Gayle, out Caught by (sub)Shorey! "Wickets in packs" - that was Bhajji's catchphrase when he played for India, and it has reappeared all these years later. A gentle half-tracker, Gayle rocks back and nails itflat towards long-on but picks out Shorey to perfection! Gives Gayle a little smile, and he looks shell-shocked, does Gayle.

Gayle c (sub)Shorey b Harbhajan 28(2cool [4s-2 6s-2]

10.3
Harbhajan to Rahul, out Caught by Tahir! A sigh of relief, as the breakthrough arrives! Looks like the topspinner, that straightened naturally a little from the over the wicket angle, Rahul charges down the wicket to loft it out of Punjab (Udta Punjab?) slices it high in the air and Tahir at extra cover settles under it.

Rahul c Tahir b Harbhajan 71(36) [4s-7 6s-5]

Harbhajan to Agarwal, out Caught by Jadeja!

Agarwal c Jadeja b Harbhajan 7(6) [4s-1]

Looks like Gayle has batted himself out of form.
