S Sharma to S Watson, Another shout for an lbw, this time against Watson. Closer than the last one but not close enough to be given out. Angling down, slower in pace, Watson tries to sweep but misses. He is rapped on the pads, the bowler appeals but nothing from the umpire. Meanwhile, the ball has rolled to Hooda at point who this time doesn't have a shy.
S Sharma to du Plessis, A very ambitious appeal for an lbw, not given. A length ball landing on middle, angling down, du Plessis fails to flick and is hit on the pads. It ricochets in the gap on the leg side and they steal a leg bye. Missing leg, shows the replay.
B Kumar to S Watson, On point again, on a length outside off, Watson plays it down to point.
B Kumar to du Plessis, Five runs! Oh dear, bonus runs. Faf taps a length ball wide of the first slip fielder and crosses for a run. The backward point fielder quickly gets to the ball but has an unnecessary shy at the striker's end. Misses and there is no one backing it up. The ball races away to the fence. Kumar is furious with the bowler and Williamson isn't too impressed. Deepak Hooda, the culprit. These things hand the momentum to the opposing side.
B Kumar to du Plessis, Width on offer this time, outside off, du Plessis hits it through the line but finds the fielder at cover-point. 10 dot balls so far by Bhuvi. Can he bowl back-to-back maidens?
B Kumar to du Plessis, Quality bowling by Kumar. Not providing any width to the batsman to play with. Targets the off stump with a length ball, Faf defends it from the back foot.
B Kumar to du Plessis, On the middle stump line this time, fuller in length, du Plessis pushes it right back to the bowler.
B Kumar to du Plessis, Kumar is on the money once again! Angles in a length ball on off and gets it to straighten just a bit, du Plessis sticks back inside the crease and keeps it out with an angled bat.
S Sharma to S Watson, Keeps it full again and just around off, Watson pushes it out on the leg side. A decent start for Sharma as well.
S Sharma to S Watson, Returns to a fuller length around off, gets the ball to move back into the right-hander, Watson defends it by leaning forward. 7 balls for nothing from the Aussie so far.
S Sharma to du Plessis, Driven towards the mid off region. The batsmen have run through for a single.
S Sharma to du Plessis, On a good length and outside off, du Plessis punches it through the line but finds the cover fielder.
S Sharma to du Plessis, FOUR! Just before this delivery Sunil Gavaskar (on air) mentioned that Chennai didn't get enough swing going as the lengths of their bowlers were quite on the shorter side. And... Sandeep serves one just behind length outside off, du Plessis cracks it through covers and gets a boundary.
S Sharma to du Plessis, Swing straightaway for Sandeep as well. Moving back in appreciably from a length around off, Faf offers a straight bat in defense.
Plenty of swing we saw in the first over. It's Sandeep Sharma to share the attack from the other end. He too is a similar kind of bowler. Let's see how much swing he gets...
B Kumar to S Watson, BEAUT OF A DELIVERY! Watson would be considering himself fortunate to have not nicked that. Kumar lets it out again around off, just around the full length area. Watson is forced to play at it yet again, only for the ball to wink and teasingly move away past the outside edge. A terrific maiden over from Bhuvneshwar to start.
B Kumar to S Watson, Another one outside off, cut away straight to backward point.
B Kumar to S Watson, Outside off on a length, the Aussie goes back and cuts it. The man at point dives to his left and stops it.
B Kumar to S Watson, On a length around off, Watto stays in his crease and presents a straight bat in defense.
B Kumar to S Watson, This is full and outside off, Watson lets it pass unhindered.
