Bumrah to de Kock, out Caught&Bowled!! Soft dismissal! The partnership is broken. de Kock is in disbelief and stands there looking at Bumrah. But has to make the long walk back. This is why Bumrah is so special! India under pressure, runs leaking from both ends and he comes back to pick a wicket. Slower ball, dips on de Kock and he chips it straight back, Bumrah reacts well to try and take it with both hands, the ball gets lodged in near his thighs and he clings on. A fine knock from de Kock but it has been brought to an end. de Kock c and b Bumrah 65(35) [4s-9 6s-3]

Hardik Pandya to de Kock, FOUR, uppish and safe again! Hardik jumps in agony. Seems like Abhishek didn't pick that early, which forced that reaction from Hardik. Short of a length delivery on the stumps, de Kock pulls flat. Was at a catchable height and if it was true from the fielder reacted late to the left, India would rue it. Came low and teased the diving fielder to the left before escaping for four

Washington Sundar to de Kock, 1 run, cramps him for room and QdK taps it through point to get his 18th T20I fifty. Raises the bat to the crowd and his teammates. With Reeza not in form, it was important that Quinton laid a good foundation and he's made a mega effort
