    10.1 Action replay... goes wrong, and Nissanka walks back. Sent upstairs, not sure if it was needed. Ultra-Edge also being checked. No edge. Miles out. That's a couple of minutes wasted. Nissanka danced down, looking it to slap it through extra cover again. Anukul likely saw him and went much shorter and slower, landed in line with the tramline around a back of length. Nissanka cut hard, found thin air as the ball spun away and bounced nicely. Will be wide but out 85/4

    4.6 skies it right up and Rahul is gone! Rahul swings big, doesn't middle it at all and that goes high into the night sky. These catches are never easy, but Cam Green at mid-on has his eyes glued to the ball and catches it with the reverse cup 49/1

    7.6 soft dismissal and Rana is gone! It was a short ball angled into him and his timing is all over the place. Late on the shot, he gloves it behind to short fine leg 74/2

    9.5 some loop, a big sweep and he's holed out to deep midwicket! Rizvi's laborious night comes to and end as he goes for a mighty sweep but doesn't get the distance as Powell settles under it 80/3

    10.5 Stump-to-stump does it. 95ks length ball from around the wicket skids through and hits top of off. Stubbs' back foot was planted, front leg cleared coast and he tried to punch it to cover. Ended up poking and missing . Two in the over for Anukul 89/5

    18.3 Anukul takes a stunner at deep midwicket.. He ran to the left, was running at pace while taking the catch to the left, around waist-height. Foot stuck in the ground for a moment and he fell into the ground but never lost hold of the ball. Slower ball into the pitch just outside off, pulled flat. 128/6

    19.2 Rahane catches a bullet at the edge of cover. Takes a couple of steps back due to the momentum. 148ks full ball just outside off, Ashutosh was back in the crease and muscled a cover drive. Didn't follow through fully but powered it well. Placement was the issue 140/7

    19.4 Another miss, another bye attempted. This time they go through with it and Starc will be run out. Sent upstairs, puzzling as he was well short despite the bowler taking time to hop across and push the ball into the stumps. Was a fuller, wider ball that was beyond Starc's reach as he got low and went for the square drive 140/8

    2.6 run out at the non-striker's end! Drama in Delhi. Starc is pumped even as Allen apologises to his partner. Starc goes for the Inswinging yorker, Allen slams it back because it's not really in the block hole, Rahane is a couple of steps out and Starc gets his left hand on the ball which hits the stumps at the other end 29/1

    3.4 what a bizarre dismissal! And Raghuvanshi is gone too. Raghuvanshi goes for the sweep and doesn't connect but the ball goes off his arm and lobs up, and then bounces and rolls back to hit the stumps while Raghuvanshi tries to spot the ball and then attempts to move it away but it's too late 31/2
