19.6
Avesh Khan to Shashank Singh, FOUR, a forgettable night for Avesh Khan. He ends with a boundary. This is all class from Shashank Singh, he shuffles across well outside off, takes the full delivery and scoops over short fine

Marco Jansen to Markram, FOUR, does not start well. It's a short of length delivery down leg, Markram flicks and finds the fine-leg fence, beats the fielder to his right

Marco Jansen to Markram, SIX, thick outside-edge and six over third man. Length delivery and Markram gives the charge to loft, flies off a thick outside-edge

2.2
Arshdeep Singh to Mitchell Marsh, out Caught by Nehal Wadhera!! Mitchell Marsh falls to Arshdeep Singh both times this season and early too. Length delivery on leg-stump, Marsh gets forward to flick and it's more height than elevation, a real steepler into the night sky, Wadhera settles under it at deep backward square-leg and takes a fine catch. Not easy with so much airtime on the ball. He just about hangs on. That's the early wicket PBKS needed.

2.5
Arshdeep Singh to Markram, out Bowled!! Dragged back on and Markram curses himself as he walks off. This is a back of a length delivery outside off, width was there, Markram goes on the back foot to cut, the extra bit of bounce got the thick inside-edge and falls on middle-stump. Two in the over for Arshdeep Singh and LSG are struggling.

Marco Jansen to Pant, SIX, that's Pant at his best. He comes down the track and takes it on a length, clean loft and it flies flat over long-off, fine blow that

Arshdeep Singh to Pooran, out Lbw!! That is plumb and Pooran falls to Arshdeep Singh too. All the top-three now to Arshdeep. Big full inswinger on the stumps, Pooran slogs to leg and misses, hit on the back leg and that's crashing into the stumps. Three reds and Pooran wastes a review. Ever since Kamboj got him from round the wicket with one angled in sharply into the pads, Pooran has had trouble and now has fallen to a similar kind of ball, albeit from a left-handed bowler. Is that a weakness in his game?

Chahal to Ayush Badoni, out Caught by Arshdeep Singh!! Straight up and caught at short third man. Ayush Badoni waits but he has to go. Avesh the man who asked Badoni to wait. There was no question of height there. A full-toss on leg-stump, Badoni turns around for the big reverse-sweep, but miscues it completely. It goes right up. A wicket for Chahal in the last over. End of a super knock.
