Over 12.1 Karn Sharma bowls a tossed up delivery to CJL Rogers, CAUGHT, Rogers wants to break free with a slog sweep but hits that off the bottom flat towards the man at mid wicket where Rohit Sharma doesn't drop many catches!

Over 33.3 VR Aaron bowls a good length delivery to DA Warner, no runs, leaves it outside off to the keeper. 147 kmph. Both the bowler and the batsmen are having a go at each other! And now Shikhar Dhawan is having a fight with Warner!! The Umpires are instructing the Indians to ease down.


Over 33.3 VR Aaron bowls a good length delivery to DA Warner, NB + 0, terrible slog attempted by Warner across the line and he gets cleaned up around middle by Varun Aaron. 146 kmph. Well it is a noball in fact and Warner has been called back! Warner is shouting back at Aaron!

Over 38.5 Shami Ahmed bowls a good length delivery to SR Watson, BOWLED HIM, Watson looks to drive this on the up and Shami gets this to reverse in at pace, beat the bat and go through the gate to strike timber! Wicket in the very first over after Tea!

Over 45.6 VR Aaron bowls a back of length delivery to MJ Clarke, CAUGHT BEHIND, Clarke sees the width and plays a rash square cut but because of the extra pace and bounce, can only top edge it to the keeper. 143 kmph

Over 59.1 Karn Sharma bowls a tossed up delivery to DA Warner, CLEAN BOWLED, Warner shapes himself for the big reverse switch hit but gets cleaned up by the full ball which turned in from the rough outside off. A big scream from Kohli at slip while Karn Sharma is happy inside and not showing off his delight much.

Over 64.4 RG Sharma bowls it flat in the air to MR Marsh, CAUGHT, Marsh steps out and clobbers it high towards long on, it looks good for a six but the boundary is too big and the mishit is caught by Vijay a couple of yards in front of the rope.
