    Axar Patel to Dhoni
    what a man! Yem Yessssss Dhoniiiiiiiiiiii. Remember the nammeeeeeeeeeeeeee. Axar bowls this from over the wicket, but the change of angle does little to alter Dhoni's bat swing. This was fired in, too full on middle and leg, but Dhoni had decided he was going over midwicket come hell or high water, and that bottom hand of his is into play as the ball flies off the middle of the bat into the deep midwicket boundary. Shades of the good old helicopter in that one. The powerful wrists of his to the fore as he flicked it up and over. Wow!

    Axar Patel to Dhoni
    short on middle, Dhoni moves back into the crease and swings this one over deep midwicket. Wow! Incredible. Too short, he picked the length early
    19.4

    Axar Patel to Dhoni
    short outside off and he's flat batted that over cover, one bounce into the ropes. An inch on the other side and it would have been six. Is this alive still? This was too short, Dhoni had enough room to slap that over the infield
    19.3

    Axar Patel to Dhoni
    he flat-batted that towards deep cover, was certain it was a boundary but Amla, who was running around to his left dived full length to his left to stop that. They missed an opportunity to pinch two runs
    19.2
    6
    Axar Patel to Dhoni
    that's why he refused the run. This one was into his hitting arc, too full and Dhoni clobbered that over long-on. What swing, what power off the bottom hand
    19.2

    Axar Patel to Dhoni
    was he trying to bowl a bouncer or what? Ball left his hand late as he tried to dart one into middle and leg, Saha stops it like a goalkeeper

    Axar Patel to Dhoni
    dot ball. Absolute gold. Fired into middle, Dhoni mistimes a pull, but hits it straight to deep midwicket
    18.6

    Sharma to Dhoni
    squeezed back past the bowler to long-off, another yorker-length delivery which Dhoni couldn't get underneath
    18.5
    0
    Sharma to Dhoni
    rip-roaring yorker on middle and leg, Dhoni just managed to get his bat down in the nick of time to prevent that from smashing into the stumps
    18.4
    0
    Sharma to Dhoni
    the slower ball works this time, but Dhoni refuses the single. He walks across the stumps to fetch the slow ball on middle towards deep midwicket. He hit it well, but straight to Amla. Immediately signalled to his partner to suggest 'don't even bother trying to take a run'
    18.3
    4
    Sharma to Dhoni
    he's got it away into the point boundary. Not entirely convincing but it doesn't matter. Low full toss outside off, Dhoni's big swing ensures he gets enough bat on it as he slices it into the boundary. Wrong line, the match is alive
    18.2
    1
    Sharma to Ashwin
    makes a bit of room to squeeze a full ball to point for a quick single
    18.1

    Sharma to Perera
    big, big wicket. Mohit floats this full outside off from around the stumps, Thisara looks to swing across the line over long-on, but only manages to get a thick outside edge which Saha accepts with glee.

    Sandeep to Dhoni
    looks to punch it past cover, the ball kept low to beat the inside edge
    17.5

    Sandeep to Dhoni
    misses his length by an inch, if not more, and Dhoni has blasted that into the long-off boundary. Got underneath the delivery and clobbered that. He backs his strengths when the situation demands. Can he get another one away? Little doubt as to who is under pressure now
    17.4
    1
    Sandeep to Perera
    excellent yorker this time on middle from around the stumps, Thisara squeezes it towards square leg for a single
    17.3
    1
    Sandeep to Dhoni
    pulled across the line, lands on the bounce to Miller at long-on
    17.3
    1
    Sandeep to Dhoni
    sprays it wide outside off, did the ball slip out of his hand, or was it the pressure of having to bowl to a feared finisher? We'll know after the match
    17.2

    Sandeep to Dhoni
    the match is well and truly alive. Once again he goes full and wide, Dhoni uses his reach to good effect and slices it over point, picks the gap in the deep to perfection
    17.2
    1
    Sandeep to Dhoni
    he was perhaps thrown off guard by Dhoni's initial movement as he bowls it full and well outside the wide line on the off side
