Crist to Jalaj Saxena, out Caught&Bowled!! Amazing reflexes from Crist. A fuller length delivery sees Saxena hammering it straight back to the bowler, Crist had to react quick, went with both hands and gobbles it up. Kerala lose half their side and the partnership has been broken. Jalaj Saxena c and b Crist 22(26)

Rahil to Samson, out Caught by T Natarajan!! Kerala are losing the plot here. This was pushed through flatter and quicker, Samson rocked back on the pull, the length wasn't there for the shot, he ends up getting a thick top-edge - straight down the throat of the fielder at long-on. Samson c T Natarajan b Rahil 6(10)

Crist to Rohan Prem, out Caught by N Jagadeesan!! Prem's misery comes to an end! On a good length and angling across the left-hander, it was the slower off-cutter. Prem was way too early on the shovel, gets a thick leading edge. Jagadeesan calls for the catch and holds on. Rohan Prem c N Jagadeesan b Crist 7(15) [4s-1]

Sathish to Mohammed Azharuddeen, out Caught by Rahil!! That's a dolly for Rahil at square-leg. Length delivery on Azharuddeen's pads, he was looking to flick, doesn't keep it down and it's a simple chance to Shah. He juggles with the ball and holds onto it - on second attempt. Mohammed Azharuddeen c Rahil b Sathish 3(5)

T Natarajan to Vishnu Vinod, FOUR, that's an excellent effort from Vijay Shankar, but the ball was always going away from him.
