9:27 PM IST- Johnson to Woakes, FOUR, full ball outside off, Woakes flings his hands at it and carves it through backward point. It goes to the fence like a bullet

9:25 PM IST- Johnson to Sarfaraz Khan, out Caught by Rinku Singh!! Sarfaraz looks to break free, but holes out at long-on. He was getting stuck out there, so wanted to release the pressure with a big shot. It was a full ball, probably a cutter,

9:13 PM IST- A Russell to Mandeep, 1 run, low full toss at the stumps, flicked down to fine leg

9:08 PM IST- Nitish Rana to Mandeep, FOUR, shuffles across, bends on one knee and gets the sweep away fine. Races away once it beats the man

9:06 PM IST- Nitish Rana to Kohli, out Bowled!! The part-timer gets AB de Villiers and Virat Kohli in consecutive balls. Floats a seam-up yorker which slips under Kohli’s bat and rattles the stumps.

8:51 PM IST- Johnson to de Villiers, FOUR, to backward square leg

8:46 PM IST- Narine to de Villiers, SIX, this is what he does so well. Those small movements in the crease before the bowler delivers and that puts many bowlers off.

8:45 PM IST- Kuldeep Yadav to de Villiers, SIX, straight down the ground

8:43 PM IST- Kuldeep Yadav to de Villiers, SIX, that’s not a bad ball at all from Kuldeep Yadav. Not easy to time the away-spinning ball
