Moeen Ali to Riyan Parag, SIX, that's a great hit! A harmless shortish delivery wide outside off, Riyan Parag reaches out and smashes it over long-on for another maximum
12.2
Moeen Ali to Riyan Parag, SIX, fifty for Riyan Parag! A slot delivery drifting in towards Riyan Parag. He clears his front leg and clubs it over square leg for a maximum. A gentle raise of the bat from him. He knows he has a lot more to do

Harshit Rana to Riyan Parag, FOUR, good start to the over for RR! A slower back of a length ball well outside off, Riyan Parag reaches out and smashes it. Rinku from sweeper cover hares across to his right and dives and almost stops it but the ball deflects onto his body and then rolls to the fence

Harshit Rana to Hetmyer, out Caught by Narine!! Harshit Rana break the partnership and is cock-a-hoop! Hetmyer has taken a review though. Did it only come off his helmet? A well-directed short delivery on off, it gets big on Hetmyer as he tries to hook it across but seems to have got a top-edge onto his helmet and the ball then lobs towards short third. Narine stationed there takes an easy catch. UltraEdge shows that there's a clear spike on the top-edge. Hetmyer has to depart.

Hetmyer c Narine b Harshit Rana 29(23) [4s-1 6s-1]

Harshit Rana to Riyan Parag, out Caught by Vaibhav Arora!! Harshit Rana gets the big breakthrough! A terrific knock from Riyan Parag nonetheless. A slower back of a length ball wide outside off, Riyan Parag reaches out and flat-bats it but doesn't get the required elevation. Vaibhav Arora at long-on pouches it safely. Riyan Parag deserved a hundred but not to be

Riyan Parag c Vaibhav Arora b Harshit Rana 95(45) [4s-6 6s-8]

Russell to Jofra Archer, FOUR, lovely shot! Fractionally overpitched outside off, Jofra Archer gets underneath it and drills it past extra cover for a rocketing boundary. The game is not over yet
