David Miller is the new batsman.
H Patel to S Khan, OUT! A run out at the non-striker's end, no a Punjab batsman has not been Mankaded, it's courtesy a direct hit from Shikhar 'Gabbar' Dhawan at the bowler's end in a flash. Harshal starts his spell with a slower length ball outside off, Sarfaraz forces it off his back foot to covers where Dhawan collects the ball and immediately has a shy at the non-striker's end. He hits the bull's eye and Mayank Agarwal is outside the crease. This is a big setback for Punjab as the in-form batsman returns. Committed too far, Mayank. In a spot of bother, the hosts!
Harshal Patel is introduced into the attack.
S Lamichhane to S Khan, Fullish and on off, driven down to long off for a run. Excellent over from the Nepal spinner, just 4 runs from it.
S Lamichhane to M Agarwal, Flatter and quicker on middle, Mayank nudges it towards mid-wicket and calls for two. The bowler immediately runs after the ball and the batsmen will have to satisfy with just a run.
S Lamichhane to S Khan, Fires a fuller one on the pads at 93.3 kph, Sarfaraz knocks it down to long on for one.
S Lamichhane to M Agarwal, Finally connects with his square cut and finds the gap too. A single down to sweeper cover.
S Lamichhane to M Agarwal, Once again there is width on offer outside off, perfect for square cut but Mayank bottom edges it. Pant collects the ball on one bounce.
S Lamichhane to M Agarwal, A flatter leg spinner on off, a bit on the shorter side, Agarwal cuts but finds the point fielder.
Sandeep Lamichhane is back on.
C Morris to M Agarwal, Good length delivery on middle, Mayank helps it in front of square leg and takes a run. 10 coming from the over, fourth time so far 10-plus runs have come in an over. Powerplay is done also, Punjab are 54/2, their best score this season in first 6 overs!
C Morris to S Khan, It's been driven superbly through the covers. They pick up a single.
C Morris to S Khan, That would have hurt but Sarfaraz is not showing it. Back of a length ball in line of the stumps, Khan leans back and tries to evade but takes a blow near his chest area. He loves playing those late ramp shots and maybe was trying to execute it.
C Morris to S Khan, FOUR! 50 up for Punjab! Morris over-corrects his line and ends up bowling it too straight at 142.4 kph. Sarfaraz leans forward and across before flicking it through mid-wicket for a boundary.
C Morris to S Khan, FOUR! This time Sarfaraz threads the gap on the off side. He reaches out for a length delivery outside off and crunches it past the left side of the cover fielder. No stopping this one.
C Morris to S Khan, Full and outside off, Sarfaraz pushes it out to the off side but finds the cover fielder.
Physio is out! Hopefully, nothing is serious with Mayank Agarwal. He has been in amazing form of late and his presence is vital for the hosts. Seems fit to continue now. Meanwhile, Chris Morris is back on.
K Rabada to M Agarwal, Direct hit but Mayank Agarwal is declared safe by the square leg umpire! Back of a length ball on middle, Agarwal glances it off his hips in front of square leg and scampers back for the second run. A direct hit from the deep fielder but Mayank is in. He though seems to have hurt his hamstring while stretching for the run.
K Rabada to M Agarwal, Mishit! Shortish and on off, Mayank gives himself room with the intention to go over covers but ends up dragging it off the inside edge to mid on.
K Rabada to S Khan, Back of a length ball on off at 144.5 kph, Khan gently runs it down to third man and rotates the strike.
