    1.4 LBW! Billy's given it! Bit more shape into the right-hander, and Kohli is struck on the front pad. It seemed to be heading down the leg side, and he had taken a pretty big stride out. 25/2

    2.6 Pokes tentatively at a length ball angled across him, and gets a thick edge through to the keeper. Takawale is out for a seven-ball duck. Umpires check for the no-ball. They seem to be looking at his back foot and the return crease. No problem. 26/3

    9.2 big wicket here, AB is gone to a short and wide ball, slaps that straight to backward point, he didn't try to power that one, guided perfectly towards the fielder, no threat in the delivery, AB has given it away 67/5

    14.3 bad ball, bad shot, and there's a wicket, a short ball that sits up for Yuvraj, who tries to slam it over deep midwicket, instead picks out the fielder there, Miller takes a simple catch, this is just the 15th over, and Yuvraj was the last remaining batsman 97/7
