Surya executed a lofted shot over short third, resulting in a boundary. A low-full toss was bowled, but unfortunately, it was deemed a no-ball due to the sires going off. SKY capitalized on this opportunity by elegantly opening the face of his bat and hitting a six over covers. Another short delivery was dispatched for a boundary through a pull shot. SKY reached his half-century in a stylish manner. The bowler delivered another short ball, which was once again dispatched for a boundary through a pull shot.
Unfortunately, Tilak's decision to chase the ball resulted in his dismissal. The ball was heading wide, and had he chosen to leave it alone, he may have avoided getting out. However, Tilak's attempt to play the ball led to a top edge, resulting in his dismissal to short third man.
Rohit scores six runs! The ball is in the slot and Rohit elegantly scoops it over the infield on the off side. He follows it up with a single to fine leg. Dhir then drives the ball to mid-on for a single, but an overthrow allows him to return for another run.
A low full toss was delivered, and Iyer struck it straight, managing to secure a quick double. Following that, another yorker was bowled, resulting in yet another wicket. Iyer attempted a creative shot but missed, leading to the ball crashing onto the middle stump.
Thushara is back in action, replacing Bumrah on the field. Venkatesh Iyer reaches his half-century with a single, taking only 36 balls to achieve this. However, Thushara bowls a waist-high no-ball during his over. Pandey takes advantage of a short delivery outside off-stump, lofting it for a single run.
Bumrah returns to the attack, replacing Coetzee. He delivers a ball aimed at Pandey's thigh pad, which Pandey expertly flicks to deep midwicket for a boundary. The next delivery is short, and Pandey dispatches it for a maximum.
Coetzee was substituted for Naman. He delivered a short ball aimed at the body, but Iyer anticipated it perfectly and executed a powerful pull shot for a boundary. The ball was pitched full and outside off stump, but Iyer managed to connect with his bat. The ball seemed destined to reach the boundary, but Tilak's quick dive prevented a couple of runs from being scored.

Hardik Pandya: We will bowl. It's always about playing for pride, it looks quite tough for us but at the same time, we want to play good cricket. Looks like a good track, it's a fresh wicket so thought that bowling first will be good. Only one change, Naman Dhir comes in place of Nabi.
Shreyas Iyer: It's always about doing the small things well, obviously the dew is a factor but we have to keep that out of mind. The message is clear, each one of them knows their role and responsibility. Batting first we are going with the same team.
