Jacob Duffy to Abhishek Sharma, SIX, 50 for Abhishek Sharma. And out comes the L-shaped celebration - with his right hand holding the index finger and the thumb and making a L-shape. Second-fastest 50 ever for India individually and their 2nd-fastest powerplay score ever as well. It's short of length outside the leg-stump, Abhishek gets inside the line and pummels this flat over fine-leg, just has the legs to go all the way, the crowd go berserk

Matt Henry to Abhishek Sharma, 1 run, direct-hit from Santner at mid-off and Abhishek Sharma was out. He comes down the track and takes on the slower-ball off-cutter outside the leg-stump, mistimes the drive and sets off, had to run wide as Henry was in the way, that would've probably cost him his wicket, but Santner misses

Matt Henry to Abhishek Sharma, SIX, smashed for six. A short delivery on off, Abhishek Sharma goes on the back foot and pulls into the crowd at deep square-leg, that flew off the bat. A shot of real intent and statement

Matt Henry to Abhishek Sharma, 2 runs, wry smiles from Santner and Abhishek Sharma. It's a slower-ball off-cutter and outside the leg-stump, Abhishek comes down the track and lofts, loses his bottom-hand, doesn't time it, but has enough to elude the backtracking Santner from mid-off.

Jamieson to Abhishek Sharma, SIX, this is extraordinary batting. Abhishek Sharma again comes down the track and makes room outside the leg-stump, it's a low full-toss there, he opens the face of the bat and lofts, flies all the way over deep point. Dropped by a ballboy outside the fence

Jamieson to Abhishek Sharma, wide, slower-ball and too short at Abhishek Sharma, who looks to ramp and realises it's too high, so can't make contact, called a wide
