- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR8.2 Abhishek's charmed life is finally done. Miscues this attempted loft and skies it to long-off and this time it's a simple catch for Jordan Cox at long-off. Googly, full on leg, and Abhishek can only get it off the toe end as he looks to go down the ground. It would have been b Suyash c Cox in the leggie's last over, and it is b Suyash c Cox now eventually 97/23.6 Out goes the off stump! Rasikh has his hand on his ear in celebration as he knocks head over. He's been going for the yorkers and this time he nails it at 134kph. Head again looks to back away and drive it out on the off side but is late on the shot and his fun is over for the day 45/119.6 Taken comfortably by Padikkal at long-off and SRH end on 255 for 4. Low full toss bowled well outside off again, away from Kishan's hitting arc. He goes for it, gets it right of the bottom of the bat and DDP does the rest 255/416.2 Mistimed straight to deep midwicket and Krunal has struck a very timely blow. The low-arm slinger does the trick for Krunal. Outside off stump, Klaasen wanted to deposit that over the ropes again, but doesn't get under it and only miscues as far as Venkatesh Iyer who runs in and takes a comfortable catch 210/3Extras14 (w 14)TOTAL255/4 (20 Overs, RR: 12.75)Fall of wickets: 1-45 (Travis Head, 3.6 ov), 2-97 (Abhishek Sharma, 8.2 ov), 3-210 (Heinrich Klaasen, 16.2 ov), 4-255 (Ishan Kishan, 19.6 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR4.3 And Venkatesh holes out now, Eshan Malinga with the crucial breakthrough. Short ball angled across and Venkatesh looks to pull it away. Doesn't get it off the middle and Abhishek Sharma at deep midwicket runs in and takes a catch while sliding in front. Venky dropped Abhishek in the first innings, but the favour is not returned! 60/15.5 This time, Kohli hits it straight to cover again, but this time it wasn't a grounded shot and Sakib Hussain has the big fish! Slower ball again, full and wide. Kohli reaches out and looks to hammer it through his favourite area, but can't get enough height on this one. Simple reverse-cup catch in front of his face for Karnataka's R Smaran 74/28.5 Oh no, he's picked out the fielder! Malinga with the breakthrough, another big wicket. Full on middle and Padikkal flicks it away on the leg side. Doesn't get under it so it goes flat to deep midwicket 94/318.2 A wicket off his second ball; Head says I should be a regular bowler, Patty. The good old long-hop does the trick. Dragged down on middle, Patidar pulls but gets more height than distance with deep midwicket taking a comfortable catch right at the boundary 178/4Extras8 (lb 2, nb 1, w 5)TOTAL200/4 (20 Overs, RR: 10)Fall of wickets: 1-60 (Venkatesh Iyer, 4.3 ov), 2-74 (Virat Kohli, 5.5 ov), 3-94 (Devdutt Padikkal, 8.5 ov), 4-178 (Rajat Patidar, 18.2 ov)
