2.1
Simarjeet Singh to Pooran, FOUR, sloppy from Nitish at deep backward point, runs to his left and allows the ball to slip away, gifts four to Pooran, short of length outside off, Pooran cuts through backward point
2.5
Simarjeet Singh to Pooran, SIX, Pooran on fire already. My word. What a shot this is. Into the second-tier at deep mid-wicket. Length delivery on off, swung away meatily and Pooran has hit that so hard
2.4
Simarjeet Singh to Pooran, SIX, that's Pooran at his best. A back of a length delivery outside off, he stands tall and pulls off the front foot over long-on, picked the length so quickly

3.1
Shami to Pooran, FOUR, half-a-chance at extra-cover. Aniket the man. Full outside off, Pooran gets forward and drives sweetly, Aniket dives to his left with an outstretched left hand, it flicks the end of the fingers and runs away to the fence, would have been an outstanding catch had that been taken

4.6
Abhishek Sharma to Pooran, SIX, and now the aerial sweep over deep square-leg, this is phenomenal batting by the uber-talented Pooran. It's a length delivery on middle and leg, Pooran plays with the turn and it's again into the crowd
4.5
Abhishek Sharma to Pooran, SIX, Pooran won't allow Abhishek Sharma to bowl at him. He has a great record against him. This is tossed up outside off, a big slogsweep and it flies away over deep mid-wicket, such a clean blow

5.2
Cummins to Pooran, FOUR, Pooran in the mood now. Full on off, Pooran gets forward and lofts straight down the ground, he is playing so beautifully
5.4
Cummins to Pooran, FOUR, shows that he can do this as well. It's full outside off, he shuffles across and knows the field well, scoops it over backward square-leg

6.3
Zampa to Pooran, SIX, 50 for Pooran. Into the second-tier at deep square-leg. This is full on middle, Pooran goes on his knee and slogsweeps way over the fence. Blows a kiss to someone in the crowd

6.4
Zampa to Pooran, SIX, Pooran is unstoppable now. No respect to Zampa as well. This is similar to the last ball, he left that, this time he gets forward and lofts so clean and straight down the ground into the first-tier 94m

6.4
Zampa to Pooran, SIX, Pooran is unstoppable now. No respect to Zampa as well. This is similar to the last ball, he left that, this time he gets forward and lofts so clean and straight down the ground into the first-tier 94m, had to fetch this from well outside off and did so effortlessly

6.5
Zampa to Pooran, FOUR, to fine leg

8.1
Cummins to Pooran, 3 runs, Pooran shuffles across his stumps and Cummins spots that and bowls a slower one wide outside off. The length is shortish though and Pooran manages to get under it and helps it over short fine. Simarjeet gives it a chase and flicks the ball in with a slide before going beyond the boundary rope. He spots that the ball is rolling towards the boundary and then leaps to save the boundary on his second attempt. Great effort from Simarjeet

8.4
Cummins to Pooran, out Lbw!! Pooran has been trapped in front but he decides to review after a discussion with his partner. Looked adjacent to the naked eye. Was a 143kph fullish ball that swung in from around off from round the wicket, Pooran was rooted to the crease and also shuffled across a bit to flick it across but missed to get hit on the pads. UltraEdge shows a clear gap between bat and ball. Over to ball-tracking and it reveals three reds.It would have gone on to crash into middle and leg. Pooran departs after playing a blazing knock. The damage has already been done.

Pooran lbw b Cummins 70(26) [4s-6 6s-6]
