Tushar Deshpande to Nehal Wadhera, no run, slower ball bouncer, Nehal Wadhera fails to lay bat on it as he tries to upper-cut it by arching back. The square leg umpire deems it as a wide for height. Samson signals 'T' at the last moment. It's above the batsman's head who has crouched a bit. Head - 1.85m, ball - 1.84m, not a wide. Now, the TV umpire will check if there's any bat/glove on it. Flat line on UltraEdge. It's a dot ball and the wide call has been reversed. Successful review

Tushar Deshpande to Nehal Wadhera, 1 run, 135.4kph, high full toss outside off, Wadhera throws his bat at it and under-edges it towards cover. PBKS review for a no-ball. Waist - 1.07m, ball - 1.01m, so it's a fair delivery and Punjab will lose a review

Riyan Parag to Shreyas Iyer, out Caught by Jaiswal!! Riyan Parag breaks the partnership! Goes full and wide outside off, nicely tosses it up and Shreyas Iyer tries to reach out for it.

Prabhsimran c Samson b Tushar Deshpande 21(10) [4s-3 6s-1]

Kwena Maphaka to Mitchell Owen, out Caught by Samson!! Kwena Maphaka strikes in his first over! Mitchell Owen departs without troubling the scorers. A length delivery outside off, Mitchell Owen tries to play across the line, swings hard and gets a top edge. The ball skies up in the air and Sanju Samson - the keeper completes the formalities.
