Ponting stuck with Stoinus until today, staying with Maxwell. Both have totally underperformed to date.

. Shashank Singh lbw b Vaibhav Arora 18(17) [4s-1 6s-1]

PK collapses after a quick start. Horrible outing with the bat.

15.3
Vaibhav Arora to Bartlett, out Bartlett Run Out!! 1 run completed. Where was Bartlett going? A total brainfade as he leaves for the second run even as the throw is coming in from the deep. And that pretty much sums it all up for the Punjab Kings who have been bowled out for 111. Good length on middle, he makes room and drives hard to long-on. They both seemed to have settled for the single but then Bartlett turned around and ran for some reason, only to be turned down by Arshdeep. He had no chance of making it back.

Bartlett run out (Venkatesh Iyer/Vaibhav Arora) 11(15) [4s-1]

Chahal to Rahane, out Lbw!! Rahane is not keen to review, walks off, Angkrish Raghuvanshi calls him and still Rahane is not keen. He shakes his head and off he goes. Impact is the key here? Hit on the back leg, as Rahane misses the big sweep, was the impact just outside off or is it in line? The googly and does not turn much, Rahane misses and need HawkEye on this. Chahal strikes in his first over and seems to be telling Shreyas something. Uh-oh - HawkEye is in and the impact is outside off, so Rahane had he reviewed would have been still there.

In reply to Narper

Thought the game was in hand attack that point in time.

Game in Russell’s hands at this stage.

13.2
Chahal to Russell, SIX, just over Jansen at long-off. The tallest man on the ground tonight. Russell did not time it, but such is his power, tossed up leg-break outside off, asking Russell to take it on

13.4
Chahal to Russell, SIX, that's in the slot and Russell won't miss out. He goes low and smashes the loft high and it goes well over long-on, Chahal allowed Russell to get under that

13.5
Chahal to Russell, FOUR, smashed over short cover.

Arshdeep Singh to Vaibhav Arora, no run, good ball, but does not find the outside-edge. Dug in short and angled across Vaibhav Arora just outside off, he tries to fence at it, misses, just past the outside-edge

Arshdeep Singh to Vaibhav Arora, out Caught by Josh Inglis!!
