Ashwin to Narine, SIX, another one! Narine probably has his dinner on microwave, in a hurry to finish this... A full delivery that was fired outside off, Narine gets under it and smokes it over long-off for six more
6.3
Ashwin to Narine, SIX, loopy, on a length and starts outside leg, spins onto the pads. Narine swipes it powerfully over square leg for a sixer!

Noor Ahmad to Narine, out Bowled!! The purple cap holder adds to his tally! A googly from Noor, slides in from outside off and knocks out the middle and off pole. Sunil Narine tries an ugly heave across the line and plays all around it, loses his pegs. End of a quick cameo from the veteran all-rounder.

Sai Kishore to Pooran, SIX, and the first ball is dismissed! Sai stayed over the wicket and the idea was to bowl wide of off, seemed like it wasn't the normal offie that he bowls but it sat up for Pooran to take a nice look and belt the pull over mid-wicket

Sai Kishore to Pooran, SIX, meanwhile, Pooran is back to bludgeoning the left arm spinner. Sai goes round the wicket and tries to bowl wide of off stump, doesn't matter as Pooran smashes it high and handsome over deep mid-wicket

Sai Kishore to Pooran, SIX, Sai puts on a brave face and tosses this up trying to deceive the batter in flight but Pooran is seeing everything like a football and is reading exactly what's coming. He smartly made the adjustment to delay the bat swing a wee bit and it disappeared over long-on. Was always a massive game to bowl Sai to Pooran and it's cost GT 24 runs

Siraj to Pooran, FOUR, to deep backward point
12.1
Siraj to Pooran, SIX, wowww! He's almost hit this into the top tier. Siraj runs in and dishes out short ball. In fact pace was taken off but how did he generate so much power for the ball to sail high over deep square leg. He picked the slower ball and just nailed it

Rashid Khan to Pooran, out Caught by Shahrukh Khan!! That is a mishit and SRK takes it. Simple chance. Rashid Khan goes into the wicket and wide, Pooran looks to smash it for six again, this time it only comes off the bottom of the bat
