All
19
Marco Jansen to Hardik Pandya, 2 runs, great yorker forcing Hardik to get his left boot out of the way to avoid damage, but he still manages to flick it in the gap at deep square leg for a couple
18.5
Marco Jansen to Hardik Pandya, no run, smart from Marco Jansen to bowl pace off and across Hardik at length. Hardik was looking for a full or short ball. Tried to adjust for the inbetween length but missed it
18.4
Marco Jansen to Hardik Pandya, no run, Hardik Pandya has smashed this yorker so hard but straight into the stumps. Was a certain four, denied by the stumps

18.1

Marco Jansen to Tilak Varma, FOUR, short and slow, sat up though! The idea was to bowl into the wicket and not offer pace but Marco Jansen ended up offering width to negate the effort. Tilak stood still and slapped it hard over cover
16
Marco Jansen to Hardik Pandya, 2 runs, wide yorker, squeezed out to deep backward point and it's an over with no boundaries. Good planning from Marco. Constantly changed his lengths
15.5
Marco Jansen to Tilak Varma, 1 run, now he goes full on the stumps, Tilak gets an inside edge onto pad and it rolls to short third man. Swung too hard there and lost the shape, would be kicking himself for missing out on what actually was a slot ball
15.4
Marco Jansen to Hardik Pandya, 1 run, back and across and ready for anything that Marco Jansen misses but the bowler smartly digs this short to change the length completely, mistimed pull results to long-on
15.3
Marco Jansen to Tilak Varma, 1 run, slower delivery on the stumps, Tilak waits and flicks it to deep mid-wicket. Almost wants to punch his bat for mistiming it
15.2
Marco Jansen to Hardik Pandya, 1 run, goes deep in the crease to get under the yorker but could only drill this to long-on
15.1
Marco Jansen to Hardik Pandya, 2 runs, Marco bowls the full slower delivery, Hardik plays a nice straight drive. Man at long-on slides across to save two runs

Marco Jansen to Abhishek Sharma, 1 run, now charges down and is cramped by the short of length delivery, Abhishek mistimes the pull into the pitch and the ball bounces over Jansen, the duo quickly cross over
4.5

Marco Jansen to Abhishek Sharma, FOUR, neatly done! This is what you call playing the field. Jansen shortens the length and keeps it close to off, Abhishek stays put in the crease and waits for the ball, opens the bat face and guides it behind square on the off-side - right between backward point and short third
4.4

Marco Jansen to Abhishek Sharma, FOUR, smashed! Abhishek comes down the track, gives himself room and converts it into a full pitcher, hammers it flat and wide of mid-off, couple of bounces and over the rope
4.3
Marco Jansen to Samson, 1 run, 136.9ks short of length delivery, Samson opens the bat face and directs it to deep backward point
4.2

Marco Jansen to Samson, FOUR, shot! Fullish delivery angled across, Samson makes a bit of room and thumps it over extra cover. He gave himself the space to free his hands and middled the inside out shot
4.1
Marco Jansen to Abhishek Sharma, leg byes, 1 run, 135.9ks back of a length delivery, Abhishek misses the tuck and the ball deflects off the thigh pad

Marco Jansen to Samson, SIX, whoa! Now Samson gets into the act and he clears the rope. It didn't seem like it was off the middle but that's Samson. Good length ball, on off and middle, Samson leans into the pick-up shot and the timing takes it over the wide long-on fence
1.5
Marco Jansen to Abhishek Sharma, 1 run, back of a length delivery, Abhishek opens the bat face and directs it square of the wicket
1.4
Marco Jansen to Abhishek Sharma, no run, now shortens the length as Abhishek advances and has a tenative poke, the ball does enough to beat the outside edge
1.3

Marco Jansen to Abhishek Sharma, FOUR, now a genuine outside edge and it flies over short third. Once again the fullish length around off, Abhishek stays leg-side and looks to go over the cover region, the outside edge clears a leaping fielder and races away..
1.2

Marco Jansen to Abhishek Sharma, FOUR .. and again. They need to have a deep backward point for Abhishek. Right now, the fielder is at sweeper cover. He charges down and gives it the kitchen sink, gets a thick outside edge and the ball flies towards deep backward point
1.1

Marco Jansen to Abhishek Sharma, FOUR, full and swinging away, Abhishek has the width and he throws his hands on the big shot, sliced it over backward point and the ball almost travelled the distance
