FOURS! End of Powerplay, Hong Kong 51/2 after 6 overs, need 142 off 84 balls
17 RUNS & WICKET! 4, N, 4, 1, 4, 1, N1, W - What a dramatic over. Babar Hayat (29*) smashed two fours off Arshdeep Singh, before Nizakat Khan hit one of his own. Then the pacer bowled a no-ball, his second of the over, to concede 17 runs in it. But Ravindra Jadeja made it a successful one for India, by sending Hong Kong skipper Nizakat -- run-out off the free-hit ball.

Overs5.6
Score51 - 2

Arshdeep Singh to Nizakat Khan, OUT! RUN OUT! The extra ball has handed India a wicket. Back of a length around middle and leg, Khan steps back and punches it towards backward point. He looks for a run but is sent back as Jadeja is the one getting behind it. It's too late though. 'Sir' comes up with a direct hit at the striker's end and the Indians appeal. The third umpire is referred to. The replays find that Nizakat is inches short of the crease. India have a breakthrough from nowhere.
