G Periyaswamy to Maan Bafna, 2 runs, another eacy chance goes down! Bafna chips it straight down the ground, but long-off, despite getting across, shells

G Periyaswamy to Rajkumar, out Caught by Ravi Karthikeyan!! Dipping low full toss. Rajkumar aims to go over long-on after making room, but the bat handle turns in his palms, and he ends up miscuing it to long-off. Rajkumar c Ravi Karthikeyan b G Periyaswamy 11(9) [4s-1]

Kishoor to Rajkumar, 2 runs, dropped. Rajkumar miscues a skier, and the fielder at point has all the time to settle under it. Alas, he messes up

Kishoor to Francis Rokins, out Caught by Murugan Ashwin!! Full, outside off, struck firmly as Rokins looks to go over extra cover. But it isn't off the middle, and it gets dragged straight down long-off's throat. Francis Rokins c Murugan Ashwin b Kishoor 17(20)

Ravi Karthikeyan to S Aravind, out Bowled!! Spins in, and goes through the gate. Aravind gets his front leg out to flick, but the ball spins back in sharply after drifting across, and sneaks through the gap in between the bat and the body to knock out the off-pole. S Aravind b Ravi Karthikeyan 25(30) [4s-2 6s-1]

Ferrario to Anirudha, out Caught by Murugan Ashwin!! Full, outside off, spinning away.

Anirudha c Murugan Ashwin b Ferrario 32(22) [4s-4 6s-1]

Ravi Karthikeyan to Anirudha, SIX, sits, swings, and slogs it way over long-on. It's getting very difficult for the bowlers to bowl with this wet ball, and Anirudha is making full use

G Periyaswamy to Anirudha, FOUR, the yorker goes wrong now, straying well down leg, and Anirudha only needs a tickle. He gets more than enough of it, sending it through square leg

G Periyaswamy to Anirudha, FOUR, short, wide, and Anirudha cuts it away firmly through the gap in between point and cover. Tiruppur are off
