Amit Verma to Rohan Kadam, SIX, short legbreak and Rohan Kadam latches onto it. Muscles the pull over deep mid-wicket

Amit Verma to Rohan Kadam, out Sharath BR Run Out!! The 52-run stand has been broken via a run-out! Rohan Kadam dabs this flat ball outside off straight to backward point.

Rohit Kumar to Sharath BR, FOUR, slightly short and Sharath pounces! Rocks back in his crease and cuts it in front of the diving backward point fielder. Speeds away to the fence

Rohit Kumar to Rohan Kadam, byes, 1 run, a stumping chance and Sujay Sateri has fumbled, a life for Kadam - came charging down the pitch, doesn't get anywhere near the ball, went for the hoick and missed - Sujay Sateri had plenty of time, but he grabbed at the ball and missed

Rohit Kumar to Rohan Kadam, FOUR, a fumble from Aneeshwar Gautam, and he has cost his team a couple of runs, was swept hard and behind square on the on-side - Gautam came across and then overran

Macneil Noronha to Rohan Kadam, 2 runs, loopy delivery on the leg-stump line, worked in front of square on the on-side for a couple. The throw is at the bowler's end and Sharath was scrambling back for the second - it's touch and go, but a better throw would have found him short. As it turns out, the dive has saved him. The bat was in the air for a long, but he gets the benefit of doubt, with the third umpire reckoning that it was grounded in time. The fielder was quick on the ball, but his one-bounce throw hit the practice wicket and lobbed over Noronha's head, he had to drag it onto the stumps and that gave the breathing space required to save himself

M Venkatesh to Siddharth, out Caught by Rohit Kumar!! Catching practice at long leg, it was short and at the stumps, Siddharth swivelled across on the pull, connected it beautifully, but didn't bother to keep it down, straight down the throat of Rohit. Siddharth c Rohit Kumar b M Venkatesh 7(9) [4s-1]

Macneil Noronha to Siddharth, FOUR, nicely played, much needed for the Strikers - they need some momentum to kickstart the innings, flighted delivery outside off - Siddharth bends down low, rolled his wrists and then swept it in front of square on the on-side for a boundary

M Venkatesh to Vinay Sagar, out Caught by Amit Verma!! Another mistimed drive and Sagar's misery is complete, on a good length and just outside off - Sagar backed away and was then looking to go back over the bowler's head, got it off the toe-end of the bat and lobbed straight into the hands of Amit Verma, who was backtracking from mid-off. Vinay Sagar c Amit Verma b M Venkatesh 6(13)
