    3.4 caught at mid-off, Jansen makes the breakthrough for PBKS. Sudharsan wanted to loft that over mid on I think, but the length was good and the line was on middle and it may have straightened a touch too, he ended up slicing it straight to Shreyas Iyer. The bat turned in his hand as he made contact with the shot. 37/1
    9.3 Gill has not looked fluent against Chahal and he holes out in the deep! Chahal gave that ball air on middle stump, Gill got down on one knee and attempted the big slog sweep, he didn't hit it far enough and Connolly settled under the catch on the deep midwicket boundary 83/2
    15.4 caught on the long on boundary, Bartlett has timed his jump perfectly! Buttler stepped out of his crease to try and get under the ball and loft over the long-on boundary, he almost managed to succeed, but Bartlett positioned himself on the edge on the boundary and jumped up to take the catch over his head, Buttler can't quite believe it 129/4
    13.6 Jansen again, and this time Vyshak has his man! Fuller length, straighter line, and Phillips mis-timed the lofted shot straight to long off. It looked like Vyshak ran his fingers down the side of the ball during his release to take a bit of pace off the ball 119/3
    18.1 in the air and straight to Arshdeep at deep point! Two wickets for Vyshak. He dug it in short and took pace off the ball, Sundar waited , got under the ball and cut it in the air, simply did not get enough power on the shot 144/5
    18.6 caught on the deep square leg boundary! Pace-on this time and the length was fuller from around the wicket, Shahrukh planted his front foot and swung hard across the line, Arshdeep ran around to his right on the boundary's edge and judged the catch superbly 150/6

    1.2 caught on the edge of the inner circle at midwicket! Rabada bangs the short ball in at pace, tight line cramping Arya for room, he tries to pull but gets a top edge that swirls high in the air, the debutant Ashok Sharma tracks back to the edge of the inner circle and judges the catch well 7/1
    9.3 hit hard and flat and straight to Prasidh Krishna on the long on boundary! Prabhsimran gave Rashid the charge but could not get under the ball enough to get the proper elevation needed to clear the boundary 83/2

    12.1 and strikes first ball! Maybe that blow on the hand played a role in this dismissal because Shreyas has simply clipped a friendly half-volley off his pads straight to deep midwicket, he can't quite believe it either 110/3
    13.1 this is a much simpler chance for the fielder at cover ...Sudharsan's opening partner Gill is the catcher! Sundar dropped it short, Wadhera came well out of his crease and slapped it straight at the GT captain 113/4
    14.2 caught behind! PBKS losing the plot here, extra bounce does the trick for Prasidh. He banged the ball in short of a length in the mid-130s outside off, Shashank tried to run the ball to deep third and got an edge through to Buttler ... the players are taking a timeout break. 118/5
    14.4 what on earth is happening, Punjab! Finding fielders with laser-guided precision! Short of a length outside off stump, Stoinis leans back and ramps, ramps it straight to the fielder at deep third, Rashid Khan barely had to move for the catch 118/6
    17.4 spooned to cover! First IPL wicket for Ashok Sharma and it's a big one at a crucial stage of the game. He's delivered a back of the hand slower ball at 109 kph, Jansen was into the shot too early and hit it straight to Shubman in the circle, he had to move a bit to his right to take the catch 144/7
