P Chawla to M Agarwal, OUT! Mayank has been cleaned up by Chawla! The googly does the trick. We feel Mayank did pick it and hence goes for the slog sweep. The ball though does not bounce a lot, goes under the bat and knocks the leg stump out. Chawla breaks the 74-run stand and a set batsman is back in the hut. A good innings by Agarwal but he had a lot to do and perishes in an attempt to do so.

P Chawla to D Miller, Well bowled! Sees Miller shuffle right across so bowls it wide outside off. Miller hits it to sweeper cover for a run.

Strategic break. The current partnership has somewhere given hope to Punjab. The equation still is a daunting one - 86 off 30 balls. As long as Miller is there, the danger is also there. Mayank Agarwal has also looked in great touch and if these two last the distance, we are in for a thrilling finish. Sit back and enjoy the ride. Piyush Chawla to bowl...

K Yadav to D Miller, FOUR! Lovely shot! Miller uses his feet, Kuldeep tries to outsmart him by firing it in. Miller does well to get bat to it, he does even better to get it past cover. Russell runs to his right and seems to have pushed it back in. However, replays show that he was in contact with the ropes and the ball at the same time. Boundary.

K Yadav to M Agarwal, In the air... dropped! Rinku Singh is the culprit but it is a very good effort. Agarwal comes down the track and looks to hit it against the turn. It was the googly. He ends up slicing it towards cover-point. Rinku, the substitute there, runs to his left, dives but can't hang on to the catch. Couple taken.

Kuldeep Yadav to have another go. DK wants wickets. 95 needed off 36 balls. This kind of equation has been achieved in the past.

A Russell to M Agarwal, 50 for Agarwal, his 4th in this league. A very good innings from him. Wickets kept falling at the other end but he has continued to score freely. Needs to stay there till the end though. He works this through mid-wicket and bags two.
