10.38pm What a game we've had. India are huddled together to decide who bowls. All of them have been taken for plenty. Washington's been the best bowler by a mile. Do they take a chance by bowling him against two set batters? Surely Nabi should come out to open with Gulbadin? This was meant to be a dead rubber, but it's bern a thrill-a-minute ride that has had everyone on the edge of their seats for the last half hour. Exhilarating stuff. As disappointed as he will be with the bowling effort, Rohit won't really mind this experience of playing in a Super Over. The question is who bowls. We'll find out soon.

2
Mukesh Kumar to Gulbadin, 2 runs

it's a tie and we're going into a Super Over! Mukesh bowls a wide yorker that Gulbadin scythes through the infield to deep cover, Rinku lobs a throw on the bounce to Sanju but it's so far away from the stumps that it gives the batter the split second to make his ground even as Sanju tries to deflect the throw onto the stumps. A better throw from Rinku could've made a difference. . What a finish! And we're not done yet.

3 needed off 1.

19.5
2
Mukesh Kumar to Gulbadin, 2 runs

heaved across the line, Washington comes across from deep midwicket to fire a throw on the bounce to the keeper, they'll take two.

5 off 2. If this ends in a tie, we'll have a super over.

19.4
6
Mukesh Kumar to Gulbadin, SIX runs

belted down the ground for six! Shovelled. Mukesh misses his mark by an inch if not more and Gulbadin generates tremendous bottom-handed power as he helicopters it over the ropes at long-off.

Harshit: "Mukesh has a habit of bowling no balls. Please don't do it now."

Mukesh Kumar to Gulbadin, 2 runs

carved over cover, Rinku runs around from deep point and does well to cut that off and keep it sown to two. 11 off 3

1w
Mukesh Kumar to Gulbadin, 1 wide

bowls full, bowls too wide outside off, left alone. 13 off 4.

There was a massive gap between point and wide long-off. Dube now moves to cover at the edge of the ring.

19.2
Mukesh Kumar to Gulbadin, no run

excellent yorker that tails in from outside off, Gulbadin beaten as he looks to walk across and slog across the line.

Back over the wicket now

Avesh Khan to Gulbadin, SIX runs

smashed into the club house terrace! Right in the slot from Avesh, Gulbadin used the depth of the crease to get underneath the length and tee off. My word, what muscle. Super hit that

Avesh Khan to Sharafuddin, 1 run

this has been lofted over the infield, plonks in the outfield as Washington runs around from deep cover to stop this.

18.3

Avesh Khan to Sharafuddin, FOUR runs

slaps this length ball to the cover boundary. Solid hit. Too much width, sat up nicely for him to give it his all. Held his shape nicely and walloped it away to beat Jaiswal.

Avesh Khan to Zadran, OUT

excellent running catch from Kohli, Chinnaswamy roars! This was bowled full and away from his hitting arc, he ended up slicing it over to the off side, Kohli from wide long-off charged across a good 25-30 yards to his right to take the ball where deep cover would be.

full and wide, but well inside the wide line. Gulbadin let it go thinking it'd be called wide. Excellent call from Madanagopal
