- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR16.1 caught at deep point! Marsh didn't really get going after the resumption, he's carved this low full toss flat and hard, Bethell catches it just above his head, he walks off to a big round of applause from his team-mates 165/29.2 he's hit that to the fielder at cover again, in the air this time, and Kulkarni's laboured stay at the crease is finally over, he came down the pitch and swung the ball hard straight to Patidar 95/118.2 caught right on the edge of the deep backward square leg boundary! Pooran cleared his front foot, swivelled and pulled with the angle into him from around the wicket, he made contact with the bottom of the bat though and Krunal took the catch this time 194/3Extras10 (lb 5, w 5)TOTAL209/3 (19 Overs, RR: 11)Fall of wickets: 1-95 (Arshin Kulkarni, 9.2 ov), 2-165 (Mitchell Marsh, 16.1 ov), 3-194 (Nicholas Pooran, 18.2 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.5 quick redemption for Prince Yadav! Runs to his left from deep third and holds on to a swirling catch! Bethell was aiming to hit the ball down the ground with the booming lofted drive but got a thick outside edge as the length ball seamed away from him outside off stump 9/11.2 off stump is on the ground and look at Prince Yadav go! 140 kph, upright seam, pitching on a good length outside off, drawing Kohli forward, nipping back into the right-hander, beating the inside edge and knocking off stump out of the ground, sensational ball! Prince is pumped! 9/210.1 caught and bowled! Snaps the partnership just short of a 100! The short of a length ball grips the surface and stops on Padikkal, who plays too early and ends up chipping the ball back at Prince, he catches it above his head 104/311.3 Aiden Markram with the catch running in from the long off boundary, and is that the game for LSG? Shahbaz has picked up the massive wicket, he dug in the ball flat and slightly short outside off, Patidar came forward and flat-batted it down the ground, Markram covered good ground and tumbled forward as he took the catch 112/510.5 Prince is having a superb night! He follows up the slower short one with a quicker bouncer, hurrying Jitesh for time, he is late on the pull shot and ends up top-edging it in the air and over the keeper, Pant runs back and judges the catch well 106/415.3 caught at cover point! Well that's a rather tame dismissal in the end, the ball was shortish and wide and within David's reach, he went for it and hit it straight to Rathi in the circle 158/6Extras12 (lb 4, w 8)TOTAL203/6 (19 Overs, RR: 10.68)Fall of wickets: 1-9 (Jacob Bethell, 0.5 ov), 2-9 (Virat Kohli, 1.2 ov), 3-104 (Devdutt Padikkal, 10.1 ov), 4-106 (Jitesh Sharma, 10.5 ov), 5-112 (Rajat Patidar, 11.3 ov), 6-158 (Tim David, 15.3 ov)
