1.1 Mustafizur Rahman to Martin Guptil, Scorching bouncer, the batsman clearly didn’t expect that and just sways out of the way at the last moment! (0)
1.2 Mustafizur Rahman to Martin Guptil, Full, wide, the batsman slashes hard at it and edges it through the second slip region! Third man tidies up and the batsmen run for three. The captain decides to move the man from short fine leg to the slip cordon, he’s searching for a wicket here. (3)
1.3 Mustafizur Rahman to Rohit Sharma , Tucked away to the leg side, they’re running hard, but only manage a single.Edged and through the vacant third slip region. Just after the skipper had removed a man from that region. Don’t you just hate that? One run. (1)
1.4 Mustafizur Rahman to Martin Guptil, Tries to late cut that away but misses it, and the ball thuds into the keeper’s gloves. No run. (0)
1.5 Mustafizur Rahman to Martin Guptil, The batsman calls for a single, but hesitates and nearly gets his partner run out! An effort that would make Owais Shah proud! No run. (0)

2.1 Kevin O’Brein to Rohit Sharma , Good ball, he goes for the cut, it’s too close to cut, he’s inside edged it, and it misses the stumps by a whisker! The keeper tidies up and there is no run. Phew that was close. (0)

2.6 Kevin O’Brein to Martin Guptil, He comes on the front foot to drive it, and is beaten for bounce! But instead of checking his shot, he follows through with it and sends it sailing into the pavillion! 6 runs, excellent batting! (6)

4.2 Kevin O’Brein to Martin Guptil, The batsman has a wild slog, and gets enough to send the ball to the fence for four! Not the best looking shot, but it certainly was effective. (4)
4.3 Kevin O’Brein to Martin Guptil, The run the first hard, they come for two, the fielder has the ball, they call for the third...will they get there!?! The throw is in, it’s wide, the batsman makes the dive...and he’s in! Excellent running, and poor fielding. 3 more! (3)
4.4 Kevin O’Brein to Rohit Sharma , Pitched in line, hitting middle stump, but is it too high? The umpire doesn’t think so, and the batsman has to go!

5.1 Mustafizur Rahman to Somya Sarkar, Reverse sweep! Cheeky. Only one run though. (1)
5.2 Mustafizur Rahman to Martin Guptil, Ahhh that’s poor fielding. The batsman taps it away for a single, and the fielder fires in an over-eager throw well wide of the stumps. No one is backing up and some the batsmen run two more in overthrows! The captain isn’t happy! (3)
5.3 Mustafizur Rahman to Somya Sarkar, , Wide, one run (1)
5.3 Mustafizur Rahman to Somya Sarkar, And the batsman pulls out the sweep shot! Takes a lot of skill to play that, and he has enough to place it for two. (2)
5.4 Mustafizur Rahman to Somya Sarkar, And time for the reverse-sweep! Quite a daring and often needless shot if you ask me, but the batsman pulls it off well enough to get two more. (2)
5.5 Mustafizur Rahman to Somya Sarkar, No shot offered, and the off-stump is sent tumbling! That’s a poor, poor leave...
