11,500 | FOUR, doesn't miss out this time! Short again from bowler, this sits up nicely for batsman who crunches the pull over mid-wicket. Aerial but well over the infield and it races away to the fence |
11,501 | 2 runs, nails the wide yorker outside off, batsman drives it in front of square and wide of the fielder sweeping in the deep, Pooran races across and releases the ball quickly, just a brace |
11,502 | FOUR, poor ball, asking to be hit and batsman obliges. Not exactly a half-volley but plenty of width and it's sliced away over cover-point. Intentionally done by batsman and picks up a boundary |
11,503 | FOUR, ah, shot! Top stroke! This should get batsman going. One of his favourite strokes, stands up tall and punches this wide of the man at extra cover. Wasn't that bad a ball, just a super shot and from the look of things, this pitch looks a belter |
11,504 | FOUR, flies over a leaping short fine leg! 'Catch it!' was the call but the fielder had no chance at all. Another rubbish ball from bowler, short on leg stump and batsman just helps it on its way with the pull shot. Just used the pace and picked his spot to perfection |
11,505 | 3 runs, dropped! Great effort from KL at mid-off but these need to stick if team are to make a comeback. Dived full-length to his right and also got his right hand to it but it didn't stick. Parried it all the way towards the deep before it was hauled back in. batsman is living dangerously here, stepped down for the flat-batted hit, didn't keep it down and would be happy that it didn't go to hand |
11,506 | FOUR, the carnage continues! And to be honest, bowler isn't helping his cause either by going shorter. It was pacy but batsman got hold of the pull, and belted it wide of mid-on |
11,507 | FOUR, and another! This is batsman at his riveting best. Makes a hint of room, gets the shorter length that he expects and slaps it over the infield at backward point |
11,508 | SIX, kaboom! batsman finally times his charge down the track well, gets to the pitch of this and lofts dead straight down the ground. Long-on can't do much as it's well wider and flatter |
11,509 | FOUR, how hard has he hit this! Bishnoi looks to go wider to keep this away from batsman but he reaches this and absolutely pummels this through the covers. No chance for sweeper cover |
11,510 | SIX, 18 off the over! batsman is shifting gears and has found momentum on his side. Expects the lad to go short and he is sitting deep for that already, clobbers the pull over deep square leg |
11,511 | SIX, someone shouted 'catch it!' from the team team, maybe he was referring to whoever was there behind the sightscreen because this was always going to be a six. bowler overcooks and it's slower too, batsman reaches it and goes through the line with a clean loft |
11,512 | 2 runs, hasn't timed it well but manages to get this very straight and so, it falls in no man's land. Slower and fuller, batsman looked for the loft but couldn't get the perfection connection. Gets a brace to get to fifty! It's been a typical free-flowing innings from JB, he'll be hungry for more though |
11,513 | FOUR, slower ball on the pads and batsman puts it away with ease. Coming in at 116ks and it's right on the pads for batsman to unleash those whippy wrists and play the aerial flick over mid-wicket |
11,514 | FOUR, 138ks just full enough for batsman to lay into a gorgeous check-drive, plays it on the rise and pierces the gap between cover and extra cover |
11,515 | out Caught by Jaiswal!! Catching practice for the teenager. batsman's poor run of form continues. Was fullish and in the area where batsman naturally fllicks/whips but with bowler there's always extra pace and skid off the surface. batsman played it slightly later than he would have liked and skews it off the inside half straight to mid-wicket. batsman c Jaiswal b bowler 5(4) [4s-1] |
11,516 | SIX, hit-myer! bowler goes short, but this one isn't going to trouble the batsman. batsman is quick to rock back as he pulls it over deep backward square leg for six runs |
11,517 | out Caught by Smith!! That's a soft dismissal, reckons KP on air. Was a wide ball outside off and batsman threw his hands at it. Miscues it towards cover-point as Smith takes an easy catch. If not with the bat, he'll do it with the ball. bowler, you beauty! Half of Delhi side back in the hut with more than 6 overs to go. batsman c Smith b bowler 39(30) [6s-4] |
11,518 | SIX, too predictable. bowler sticks to his length that is on the shorter side. But the line is even worse as batsman picks it up with ease and clears fine leg for half a dozen |
11,519 | FOUR, short and punished! batsman was waiting for it and slaps it towards long-on as the ball almost goes the distance |
11,520 | SIX, this one has gone the distance! Goes full after bowling a short one, and the batsman reads him to perfection. Down on his knee as batsman lofts it over deep extra cover for a maxmium |
11,521 | SIX, exactly! This is what that overthrow has resulted in. A full toss on off and batsman slams it over long-off as he manages to clear the man at long-off |
11,522 | SIX, cruel game this! bowler bowls this one right into the slot on off and batsman goes down on his knee and smokes it over deep mid-wicket for six more |
11,523 | out Caught by Rahul Tewatia!! Respite for bowler as he has managed to get rid of Shimron. He was looking for a hat-trick of sixes, but he slogs it straight to Tewatia near the boundary at wide long-on. Was a good catch as he grabbed it with a leap. Got a bit too greedy and has to pay the price for it. batsman c Rahul Tewatia b bowler 45(24) [4s-1 6s-5] |
11,524 | 1 run, full toss outside off, batsman slices it towards the fielder at point |
11,525 | 1 run, has Archer damaged his finger there? This was a rocket throw by Smith from mid-off and the bowler seems to be in some pain. But it's his left hand, so no problem. Was a full ball that was drilled by batsman and he has managed to get a quick single |
11,526 | FOUR, pitched up by bowler and it has been lofted over extra cover by batsman to end the over |
11,527 | FOUR, bowler proving to be expensive in his first game of the season. Goes full on off and batsman makes the most out of it, smashes it right over the bowler's head for four runs |
11,528 | SIX, all smiles in the Delhi camp as the free-hit goes the distance. Touch full on off and it has been tonked right over the bowler's head by batsman |
11,529 | no ball, byes, FOUR, that's an awful delivery! A beamer that beats batsman's pull and also beats Buttler. Five bonus runs for Delhi, more importantly the next ball is a free-hit! |
11,530 | FOUR, smacked! Short ball by AJ and it has been slammed towards deep mid-wicket by batsman. Fifty up for bowler.. |
11,531 | out Caught by Buttler!! bowler ends his spell with a wicket, but the damage has already been done. Fires a wide one outside off and batsman gets it off the cue end as he throws his hands at it. Good cameo by Patel. batsman c Buttler b bowler 17(8) [4s-2 6s-1] |
11,532 | out Caught by Rahul Tewatia!! Archer bags his third wicket! batsman looks to go big against the pacer and slogs it straight to the man at deep mid-wicket. Tewatia is everywhere in the field. A wicket, couple of catches. Good game for him so far. batsman c Rahul Tewatia b bowler 16(15) [4s-1] |
11,533 | FOUR, angling in and short enough for batsman to dismiss it off his sight with a carcking pull over mid-wicket |
11,534 | no ball, FOUR, front foot no ball and it's safe to say that the game has just started. Batting game I meant. batsman backed away as he got width on the off-side and absolutely spanked the drive with full face past the diving left hand of backward point |
11,535 | 2 runs, dropped! batsman takes on a pacy short ball and the top-edge carries all the way to the right of fine leg where Tyagi overruns and to make matters worse, he slips while letting the ball off his palm |
11,536 | SIX, stand and deliver stuff! batsman waits for length and smokes it flat and straight back over the bowler's head with an air of arrogance |
11,537 | FOUR, bowler continues to offer width and batsman doesn't miss out this time. Short and wide at 136ks, Iyer frees his arms and flays it over point with disdain |
11,538 | FOUR, 141ks short ball slanting in wide of off, batsman rocks back and nails the pull over mid-wicket |
11,539 | out Caught&Bowled!! batsman looked all at sea against the short ball and it's a similar delivery that brings an end to his stay. Yet again, looks to unleash the pull but bowler's got the pace and bounce, complete miscue and it's hung in the air for an eternity. For a brief period, there was confusion regarding who's gonna go for the catch, but Archer calls for it and takes it clean near the mid-wicket pocket. batsman c and b bowler 19(10) [4s-2 6s-1] |
11,540 | FOUR, just second ball into his spell and bowler bowls it at 124ks whilst giving Iyer the width he was waiting for, open bat face and crunched off the middle through covers |
11,541 | 1 run, juicy full toss outside off at 136ks, batsman looks to go hard but ends up slicing the drive off the outer half towards deep point |
11,542 | out batsman Run Out!! What a game young Yashaswi Jaiswal is having. He may not have starred with the bat yet, but he's done enough in this game already to make his presence felt in the side. Shane Warne is happy in the stands. Iyer pushed this towards extra cover and wanted a quick single, Pant was hesitant and sent him back after a momentary sprint. The team skipper though was too far down the pitch and Jaiswal hit the stumps direct with a rifle-like throw. Brilliant work from the teenager. batsman run out (Jaiswal) 22(18) [4s-4] |
11,543 | SIX, short and sits up at perfect height for batsman who powers the pull flat and hard over mid-wicket |
11,544 | SIX, make that two in a row! Another short one and this one drifts into batsman' pads to launch another maximum into the mid-wicket stands |
11,545 | SIX, batsman is making six-hitting look incredibly easy. Loopy delivery and he unleashes those muscular arms to club it flat over the extra cover fence |
11,546 | out Pant Run Out!! If there is one IPL game Pant never wants to revisit, this could be the one. He looked completely off today and his running explains everything. batsman knocked this towards mid-wicket and took a default sprint trying to sneak a single, Pant though was in a different planet. Doesn't even bat an eye at the field and just jogs blindly towards the batting end. The fielder at mid-wicket was sharp and he quickly threw it to the bowler who completed the formalities. Pant tried to get back, but he wasn't even in the frame. Pant run out ((sub)Vohra/bowler) 5(9) |
11,547 | SIX, that run out doesn't have any impact on batsman. Gets a juicy toss up in the zone and he hammers bowler clean and straight down the ground |
11,548 | FOUR, strays into the pad line, 147.8km/h of wasted gas, and that's tickled away with all the pace working against the bowler, for a boundary to fine leg |
11,549 | FOUR, banged in short and into the gut, but batsman is quick enough to swivel into a shimmering pull to the backward square leg fence for four! Pretty picture, that... |
11,550 | SIX, okay, he's catching up. bowler' no Nortje, and these 130ks are dibbly-dobblers for batsman, who's clearing out his front leg and heaving it into those conical sheds at cow corner |
11,551 | out Caught by Hetmyer!! None of the lucky ground nonsense here. batsman wants to smoke it over long-on, and given his tryst with Sharjah, doesn't even look like keeping it down. Alas, it's a miscue, and there's only height on this without distance. Ends up at deep mid-wicket. batsman c Hetmyer b bowler 5(9) |
11,552 | out Caught by Axar!! Well, well. This is getting rather tame. bowler loops it up and gets it fuller, batsman - poor old batsman - was only looking to push it away defensively to leg, but he's early, ending up with yet-another leading edge straight to short cover, who's there just for stuff like this. batsman c Axar b bowler 1(2) |
11,553 | FOUR, nails his sweep now .. yea, there's a thin line between confidence and desperation, and batsman's still unsure where he stands, but he's taken this on full-blooded, going one-kneed and bisecting deep mid-wicket and deep square leg |
11,554 | out Bowled!! Yea, yea, declare it, bowler' IPL. An off-spinner this, giving an impression that's it's a juicy leg-stump-line, but batsman's undone by the lack of pace on this, going way too early with his flick, only to miss it big time and let the ball ricochet off his pads onto the off-stump. Okay he's 19, but it needs to be said, batsman's made a mess here. batsman b bowler 34(36) [4s-1 6s-2] |
11,555 | SIX, full pace feeding the slot -- and batsman's camping on the back foot for this precisely, with lovely high elbows on the bat swing to smoke it downtown |
11,556 | out Caught by Rabada!! Flat, short, angling in, cramping out room. Yep, you've read this before. This is bang in bowler Patel's territory, his mastery. batsman goes on the back foot, clears his front leg, swats across the line, and miscues it away into square leg somewhere. Rabada probably loses the ball, or maybe he's just late to pick it up, but never mind, he's moved quickly to his right, dived, stuck his hands out, and gotten it to stick. batsman c Rabada b bowler 6(6) [6s-1] |
11,557 | FOUR, this is the twist. THIS IS THE TWIST. Tewatia's cut loose, freeing up his hands and slicing this into the sightscreen straight down |
11,558 | 1 run, tummy-lined, around off, dabbed down to third man |
11,559 | out Caught by Shreyas Iyer!! No, sorry, forget the twist. It's that same boring script. Archer looks to loft it through the line, but again, like the rest of his team, just doesn't get hold -- and with the bat-handle turning in his palms, long-off needn't do much. batsman c Shreyas Iyer b bowler 2(4) |
11,560 | SIX, just gets hold. Takes the slog off the front foot, with more height than he'd have liked, but then 77 meters is enough over here, at deep mid-wicket |
11,561 | FOUR, thick educated edge. Tewatia swishes a punch outside off, running it away really fine for third man to do anything with it |
11,562 | out Caught by Hetmyer!! The perfect slap. But what can you do when the catch is the mother of perfects? Who else but Hetmyer. Where else but deep sweeper. And what else but a forward diving take to intercept Gopal's flashy cut. It's clearly into his fingers, but when you've taken the decision to the third umpire, why not play around with a zillion replays, waste time, and then give it out. Yes. batsman c Hetmyer b bowler 2(3) |
11,563 | SIX, just brutally carved through the line. Goes after top-edge width outside off and just like that has managed to get it easily over deep point |
11,564 | FOUR, 141.8kph, a bit of a top-edge in this swivel-pull, but palming over off Rabada's jump at the deep square leg boundary |
11,565 | out Bowled!! Chops on. 123kph. Back of a length. Angling across. Tewatia swings in a cut of sorts. Is early. And under-edges onto timber. And much like these stop-start sentences, Rajasthan have stopped before they started. batsman b bowler 38(29) [4s-3 6s-2] |
11,566 | out Caught by Pant!!Sticky slower bouncer. batsman attempts running this down to third man with his bat going upside-down, but ends up only getting a tickle ballooning up to the keeper. Pant's hobbling on his right leg as he walks across for the catch, but then smiles. Okay, stop worrying. batsman c Pant b bowler 1(2) |
11,567 | out Caught by Dhawan! UH-OH! Terrific catch, and might I say, there might have been a bit of latent wrath in that angry swipe across the line! Absolutely spanks that, gets it off the inside half towards square leg where Dhawan is quick enough to hold onto a terrific catch! bowler gets batsman! batsman c Dhawan b bowler 13(8) [4s-2] |
11,568 | SIX, non-chalance in that flick - a microsix, 62 meters, flicked away over a leaping Dhawan at deep backward square leg for six! |
11,569 | FOUR, who'd've thought the world's best Test batsman would out-unorthodox a Maxi? Just paddle-pulls an express-pacer to fine leg, over short fine leg for four! Falls to his knees, avoiding the hit on the head, and gets a deflection on it over the in-field |
11,570 | SIX, short ball, and batsman was ready for that - just rocks back onto the backfoot and mows that over deep mid-wicket for six! Is this the activation energy this reaction needed? |
11,571 | FOUR, a rare rank half-tracker, and that's pulled away with all his might to wide long-on for four! |
11,572 | 1 run, pushes this one hastily off the backfoot to mid-on for a quick single as bowler himself has to chase after it to prevent the single - but he doesn't manage to |
11,573 | out Caught by Hetmyer! That's a fabulous low catch! Umpire review - soft signal is out. He's played another one of his effortless flicks, uppishly this time, and Hetmyer has been quick in runnign in from the cow corner boundary to pick up a fantastic low catch! The catch, in all honestly, looks good. Very little evidence to overturn the soft signal - and OUT it is! batsman c Hetmyer b bowler 24(17) [4s-2 6s-1] |
