019.719.6: Jasprit Bumrah to Vishnu Vinod, Not Out, but the runs won't count! Jasprit Bumrah bowls a good yorker, on off, tailing in, Vishnu Vinod gets down and across to swipe it but misses and gets hit on the pads. There is a shout for LBW, and the umpire raises his finger. However, Vinod takes the review, but even if he gets it right, they won't get any runs as the on-field decision is Out. UltraEdge confirms no bat involved and Ball Tracking shows that the impact is outside off. The decision is reversed. Punjab Kings finish exactly on 200/8.

418.418.4: Corbin Bosch to Xavier Bartlett, FOUR! Good shot! In search of a yorker, Bosch bowls a full toss, on middle. Xavier Bartlett makes the most of it and pastes it over the bowler's head for four more runs. Bosch did well to leap up and gets fingertips on it, but it was hardly catchable.

Minz is blaming the lights here but he should have taken it.

01.31.3: Azmatullah Omarzai to Rohit Sharma, Immaculate length from Azmat. Slightly fuller and in the channel around off, shaping away. Rohit Sharma leaves it alone.
21.21.2: Azmatullah Omarzai to Rohit Sharma, Just over the infield. Omarzai bashes the length and bowls it on off, Sharma goes for the lofted drive but toe-ends it over the cover region and picks up a couple of runs.
11.11.1: Azmatullah Omarzai to Ryan Rickelton, That's a certain boundary averted by Shreyas Iyer. Pitched fuller and just outside off, Rickelton leans on and creams the drive but Iyer at mid off, flings himself to his right and makes the stop. Single taken.
00.60.6: Arshdeep Singh to Rohit Sharma, Excellent start from Arshdeep Singh with the ball. Just back of a length, in and around off, Sharma gets forward and taps it down to covers.
6 Over | Run: 2/0 | Run Rate: 2.00
00.50.5: Arshdeep Singh to Rohit Sharma, On a good length, shaping back into the batter, Rohit Sharma tucks it across to mid-wicket.
00.40.4: Arshdeep Singh to Rohit Sharma, That's flown over the outside edge. Arshdeep hits the hard length now and slants it across the off stump again. The ball curves in a touch and takes off after pitching. Sharma has a loose poke at it but gets beaten.
00.30.3: Arshdeep Singh to Rohit Sharma, Length ball, pushed across the right-hander again and Sharma leaves it alone.
10.20.2: Arshdeep Singh to Ryan Rickelton, Oh, that's a tight single, but Ryan Rickelton is off the mark as well. Good-length delivery, shaping away from middle and leg. Rickelton taps it to the left of the bowler and the batters set off for the single. Shashank Singh gets across from short mid-wicket and dives in but fails to pick up the ball cleanly and Rickelton makes it through.
10.10.1: Arshdeep Singh to Rohit Sharma, Rohit Sharma is off the mark right away. Short of a length, angling away from the right-hander. Rohit presses back and angles it down through the gully region for a single.
