    1
    Kane Richardson to Ankit
    swings and misses, but they sneak in a bye
    19.5
    2
    Kane Richardson to Ankit
    mistimes the slog into the deep midwicket region, for a while it looked like the hat-trick was on, de Villiers sprints around the ropes and just manages to pull it back in
    19.4
    W
    Kane Richardson to M Ashwin
    how easy has AB de Villiers made that look? Ashwin slapped that over the infield, ABD was back-pedalling from mid-off, realised he was going nowhere, so he twirled and twisted around to set himself up and then leaped to catch the ball with his palms facing skywards. Both feet were off the ground when he took the catch. Stunning
    19.3
    W
    Kane Richardson to Bhatia
    the slower bouncer has done the trick. Bhatia fetched the pull from outside off, didn't connect well as the ball didn't arrive, too early into the stroke as it lobbed to Watson at square leg. Plucky knock but had a little too much to do in the end
    19.2
    2
    Kane Richardson to Bhatia
    once again it's too full, once again a drill, this time ABD at long-off runs around to his left to mop that up
    19.1
    2
    Kane Richardson to Bhatia
    half-volley outside off, drilled over the infield, Harshal does well at sweeper cover to keep it to two
    18.6
    0
    Watson to Ankit
    gets a bottom edge off an attempted swing, Rahul does well to stop that
    18.5
    W
    Watson to Ashwin
    intention was right, but the execution came a cropper. Ashwin lined himself for the slog, Watson helped him by bowling short of length on off, he went through with the stroke, got it off the middle. The only issue was it was right down Harshal Patel's throat at deep midwicket
    18.4
    1
    Watson to Bhatia
    crunched to long-off, Kohli anticipates the hit and fires a rocket throw
    18.3
    W
    Watson to Perera
    the Thisara party is over, Watson has delivered under pressure. Fires it full and wide outside off, he got it low on the bat and it lobbed straight to Mandeep at cover. Watson lets out a roar, and that's understandable. It got a little too close for comfort, but what a knock!
    18.2
    1
    Watson to Bhatia
    drilled down the ground to long-off
    18.1
    2
    Watson to Bhatia
    swings, but gets a top edge, the ball was swirling in the air for ages, Rahul was running backwards and called for it loud and clear, Sarfaraz at short fine leg had it easy as he was running in. What resulted was a total breakdown in communication as it bobbled out of Rahul's gloves. Chaos, pandemonium
    17.6
    6
    Harshal to Perera
    biggest over of the game! This one's clubbed over long on. Half-volley on middle, Thisara was simply waiting to tee off like a golfer, made sweet connection. There is life in the Pune dressing room now. The game has come alive, and how!
    17.5
    4
    Harshal to Perera
    high full toss outside off, Thisara makes room and slaps it into the gap at sweeper cover. Muscular stuff. Harshal has lost the plot. In his quest to bowl yorkers, he has dished out full tosses. Not at his pace, no!
    17.4
    4
    Harshal to Perera
    low full toss angling into middle, Thisara swings and connects, the ball was dying on Mandeep Singh at deep midwicket. He dived, got to the ball but couldn't hold on as it deflected into the boundary
    17.3
    4
    Harshal to Perera
    swings towards Pune, ball goes towards Mumbai. Wanted to biff that over the bowler's head, instead got a thick outside edge that flew into the third man boundary
    17.2
    1
    Harshal to Bhatia
    struck well, but Sarfaraz is alert at point
    17.1
    6
    Harshal to Bhatia
    is there life in this game yet? Slower and fuller outside off, Bhatia swings across the line and gets enough bat on it to carry it over a leaping Kohli at long-on.
    16.6
    0
    Watson to Perera
    third time unlucky. Thisara looks to walk across the stumps to play the scoop, but gets into a tange. The full ball sneaks through the gap between bat and pad to Rahul
    16.6
    1
    Watson to Perera
    another wide, this one was also flirting with that danger line, Rahul collected it and ran up to the stumps to perhaps distract the umpire. Watson isn't happy, but it was the right call in the end
