Ganapathy to Akash Sumra, out Caught by MS Sanjay!! Nothing wrong with the shot but the execution wasn't there at all. It was a back of a length delivery outside off, Akash Sumra stands tall and wanted to hit it over mid-off. He horribly mistimes it, it was in the air and mid-off fielder runs back and takes it with comfort in the end. Akash Sumra c MS Sanjay b Ganapathy 3(4)

Sonu Yadav to Malolan Rangarajan, out Caught by Suresh Kumar!! Excellent variation in pace, completely deceives Malolan Rangarajan. It was a slower delivery outside off, Malolan Rangarajan went for a hoick over cover, he gets the outside edge and it lobs in the air, point fielder goes back and takes a fine catch. Malolan Rangarajan c Suresh Kumar b Sonu Yadav 3(4)

Ganapathy to Sathish, FOUR, that is Sathish at his best. It was a low full-toss outside off, not the easiest delivery to hit. Sathish moves across to the off-side, generates good bat swing and drives it powerfully. It beats the mid-off fielder to his left and reaches the fence like a tracer bullet

Suresh Kumar to S Abishiek, out Caught by MS Sanjay!! Both the set batsmen are out. This is poor cricket. He wanted to deposit it into the crowd, charges down, fails to reach the pitch the ball, still goes through with the shot. He neither found the elevation nor the distance, deep mid-wicket comes under it and takes an easy catch. S Abishiek c MS Sanjay b Suresh Kumar 30(27) [6s-2]

D Kumaran to Nidish Rajagopal, out Caught by Indrajith!! He was probably still in awe of the last shot. Kumaran outfoxes him this time. He changes the pace on the ball, it was directed at the stumps and Nidish Rajagopal was into the shot early. He hangs his bat out at the last moment, it hits the willow and lobs up in the air, cover fielder comes under it and takes an easy catch. Nidish Rajagopal c Indrajith b D Kumaran 41(26) [4s-1 6s-3]

D Kumaran to Nidish Rajagopal, SIX, this is brilliant hitting from Nidish Rajagopal in his debut match. It was a fuller length delivery at the stumps, Nidish Rajagopal clears his front leg and smashes it over long-on for a six. Stand and deliver stuff from Nidish Rajagopal
