5.1 : 5.1: Harshal Patel to Tom Kohler-Cadmore, Four! |
6.4 : 6.4: Nathan Ellis to Sanju Samson, OUT! CAUGHT! Nathan Ellis and Harshal Patel do a wonderful job to in tandem. Increase the dot ball rate and that induces a false shot from Sanju Samson.

He gets struck on the thigh pads of his front leg. Harshal Patel puts in a loud appeal and the finger goes up instantly. Riyan Parag takes a review, as he is the last recognised batter, but he knows that he is done here. The Ball Tracking shows three reds and he takes the long walk. |

16.6 : 16.6: Avesh Khan to Ashutosh Sharma, FOUR! Ashutosh Sharma gives Punjab the boundary they were after! Sanju Samson's reaction says it all. A boundary off the last ball spoils what was turning out to be an absolutely brilliant over from Avesh. Avesh takes pace off and goes into the wicket, errs in line though as he offers width on off, Ashutosh Sharma hops back and waits for the ball to arrive. Ramps it over the keeper and finds the fence. 8 runs off the over and Punjab now need 25 runs from t |
