100 | SIX, half-tracker and gone! Lovely swivel-pull from batsman, lands bowler over the mid-wicket fence, brute power! |
101 | FOUR, edged and four, streaky but Mayank will take those. There wasn't a first slip, Buttler dived to his left from second, but can't get to the ball. On a good length and holding its line outside off, Agarwal just hung his bat at that, the edge bisected the keeper and second slip to perfection |
102 | FOUR, he's peirced the gap to perfection, just a tiny gap between the fielder at point and cover-point and batsman found it. Played with an open face, allowed the ball to come onto him and gets it in the gap past point |
103 | FOUR, edged and four, on a good length and in that channel outside off, drew batsman into the drive, he went with hard hands and gets a thick edge past the lone slip, rolls away to the fence in a hurry |
104 | FOUR, lovely shot, on a good length and well outside off, batsman gets a big stride forward and lifts it over the head of the man at mid-off, couple of bounces and over the ropes |
105 | out Caught by Nitish Rana!! A slight misjudgement from Rana in the deep but he's recovered really well here. The umpires want to have a second look. But I think the catch was clean enough. Soft signal is out, and we will stay with out. A back of a length delivery, batsman slogs it across the line and hits it flat and straight towards deep square leg. Rana is slightly guilty of sleeping on it. He doesn't really move from his position, expecting it to carry comfortably, and has to dive forward in the end. Snatches it right off the turf. bowler has struck first ball of a new spell. team needed that. batsman c Nitish Rana b bowler 60(34) [4s-6 6s-3] |
106 | FOUR, heaves the pull away over mid-wicket. He was quickly in position for that. Short of length from bowler and the ball just sits up. batsman drags it from outside off with a lot of muscle |
107 | FOUR, plants his back foot at least a couple of feet outside off, rocks back, and mows the pull through square leg. The footwork had batsman written all over it |
108 | FOUR, that will run away. bowler strays in line and bowls it on leg-stump. batsman simply had to glance it away past the fielder at short fine leg. Neat wrists |
109 | 1 run, dropped! It's Nitish Rana in the deep. The ball flew towards his left and he was on the move but he got there with both hands. Exquisite timing on the short-arm pull from batsman. It's precisely that which gets him in trouble. Rana provides the reprieve. The ball actually hit him flush on the shoulders. That's quite an error. Huge moment |
110 | FOUR, oh poor ball. A short of length delivery which sits up around the waist and batsman drags it away past short fine leg. Big decision to get bowler in here |
111 | SIX, it's not working. batsman is just too good for bowler. His slower balls do work sometimes but this is just different class. batsman picks it up, waits on it and swipes it over deep mid-wicket |
112 | FOUR, he's absolutely crashed this through extra-cover. A full, wide ball with mid-off up. Not sure what the thinking is. Whatever it is, the execution of it is way off target. Misses the yorker by a long way and batsman pummels the drive |
113 | 2 runs, fifty for batsman. This guy, huh, unbelievable. He comes off a 499-run series in Tests and now belts a half-century in his first IPL X innings. Clips a short of length off-cutter from outside off and rushes back for two |
114 | FOUR, rare error in the field from Pollard. It would actually be harsh in calling that an error for most fielders, but this is Pollard we're talking about. A mistimed slog from batsman. However, he still places it to the left of long-on where Pollard sprints and dives across trying to flick the ball in, but fails to get a hand |
115 | out Caught by Southee!! Another miscue, this time it goes straight to hand. Was it an off-cutter from Pandya? Might have been. It was there on a length though but batsman doesn't get hold of it and holes out at deep mid-wicket. The crowd erupts with "Dhoni, Dhoni" chants. batsman c Southee b bowler 21(14) [4s-3] |
116 | FOUR, how good is he! Susses out the plan from bowler based on the line he's been bowling in this over so far, waits on the ball and just slices it past short third man |
117 | FOUR, that's been dragged all the way to the wide long-on fence. Pure despair for bowler. He's bowled this so wide of off and to see the ball being swatted into the on-side is downright demoralizing |
118 | FOUR, there we go. batsman isn't to be denied for too long. A bit shorter than the previous couple of deliveries, and batsman pulls it away to the fine leg boundary. One bounce and over |
119 | 1 run, dropped! An absolute sitter put down by Southee. Oh boy. They've already dropped Smith earlier. That hasn't quite gone well. Now another one. batsman miscues the full toss to deep mid-wicket where Southee doesn't have to move. Dear me |
120 | SIX, going, going, gone... Is there anything he can't do? It's a slower ball from bowler, batsman swipes across the line and muscles it over wide long-on |
121 | SIX, he's done it. A couple of sixes to finish the game off just when it was getting away from them. What a player! A full ball on leg stump, batsman whips it away with unbelievable timing over the deep mid-wicket boundary. Pune clinch the game with a ball to spare |
122 | SIX, batsman is looking in good touch, this was banged in short and on the stumps, batsman swivels across, doesn't bother to keep it down. He didn't look in complete control - but has enough to send it sailing over the head of the man at long leg |
123 | FOUR, cracking shot, on a good length and just outside off, batsman leans forward on the drive, seemed to have checked his shot at the lst moment. It went in the air and past bowler, beat mid-off's sprawling dive to his right and rolls away to the fence |
124 | out Caught by Rohit!! Soft dimissal for Mayank. A daft little shot - to be precise. This was a back of a length delivery outside off, the width was there to cut, instead, he attempted something of a forehand jab, doesn't keep it down and hits it straight into the hands of Rohit at mid-off. Not the start Mayank wanted in his new franchise. batsman c Rohit b bowler 6(5) [4s-1] |
125 | FOUR, clubbed, made a great noise as the bat connected with the ball. Length delivery outside off, batsman shuffles across and heaves it over wide mid-wicket, one bounce and over the ropes |
126 | SIX, that's easy pickings for batsman, width on offer from bowler. He stays in his crease, uses his hands to good effect, makes the most of bowler's pace and helps it high and over third man for a maximum |
127 | FOUR, lovely, this is exquisite cricket from batsman, back of a length and well outside off, he waits on it, opens the face of the bat and steers it to the left of wide slip, beats the man getting across from the deep |
128 | FOUR, cracking shot, short and wide from Krunal, batsman doesn't need a second invitation, hangs back and cuts it square on the off-side, beats the fielder in the deep with ease |
129 | FOUR, fifty for batsman. This was banged in short by Hardik, batsman took his eyes off the ball, still went through with the pull, almost went all the way, bounced just in front of the ropes. Hardik looks amused, that ball didn't deserve a boundary |
130 | SIX, stunning bit of timing from batsman and he gets just enough to beat Pollard's leap at long-on. At first instance, it looked like a simple dolly to long-on, the ball kept going and going. Pollard arched back one-handed, got a finger-tip, but the ball was always beating him |
131 | FOUR, cracking shot, batsman is off and running in his IPL career. On a good length and just outside off, he leans forward, presents the full face of the bat and drives it back past the non-striker, no need to run for those |
132 | FOUR, nicely played by batsman, width on offer from bowler. He leans into the shot, opens the face of the bat at the last moment and steers it behind square on the on-side, gets it past backward point and into the fence |
133 | FOUR, lovely, the reverse sweep in full flow from batsman, gets down low and gets it into the gap behind square on the off-side. It was picked up from the middle-stump line as well |
134 | out Caught by Suryakumar Yadav!! Second wicket for Kuldeep. One shot too many from batsman. It was the wrong 'un which was on a fuller length, batsman gives himself room to go inside out, the bat turns on impact and the ball skews towards long-off. Suryakumar runs around the circumference and pouches it cleanly. batsman c Suryakumar Yadav b bowler 15(8) [6s-2] |
135 | FOUR, a well-controlled pull shot from batsman. bowler did not get height on the short of length delivery, just above the waist and batsman got on top of that nicely, rolled his wrists and struck it behind square, beating deep square leg with ease |
136 | FOUR, Pandey tried his best, but the ball still found a way to reach the fence. Width offered outside off, batsman maintains a low base and drills it in front of square, Pandey runs across from sweeper cover, dives and flicks it in but the ball backspins and touches the rope |
137 | 2 runs, in no man's land. The googly and batsman takes it on without reading, he charges down and goes across the line, the leading edge balloons up and drops in front of the incoming long-off fielder |
138 | FOUR, for the umpteenth time today bowler has landed it on a shortish length, sat up nicely for batsman, who cut it away fiercely square of the wicket. Timed it superbly as it beat the sweeper cover comfortably |
139 | 2 runs, comedy of errors. First batsman gets away with yet another leading edge, goes on the bounce to long-on. He was never wanted the second and Karthik was almost near the bowler's end before batsman decided to go, Karthik makes it in and Kuldeep for some unknown reason doesn't throw it to Uthappa and batsman also survives. He's living a charmed life |
140 | 1 run, fifty for batsman. 29th in IPL. Not one of his best. Quicker delivery on the stumps, clocked at 113kph, that's the pace of Bhatia. batsman is hurried into the flick and sends it along the ground to deep mid-wicket |
141 | 1 run, dropped! Would you believe it? I have lost count of the number of chances batsman has got today. Flighted delivery on the stumps, batsman kneels down and sweeps to deep backward square, went straight to Yusuf and he split it. He was on the move a bit and that put him off. He's been whisked away from that position by a stoic GG |
142 | SIX, ends the over with a maximum. A much needed one for team. Bit of air on this and a fuller length meant batsman was able to get underneath that, he heaves it high and over the cow corner fence |
143 | 1 run, batsman backs away and bowler follows him with a yorker, squeezed to backward point |
144 | FOUR, it is all going batsman's way. He might walk on water today if he wants and get away with it. A well-directed yorker, batsman brings his bat down and squirts it off the inside edge to the fine leg fence. Not far away from the leg-pole |
145 | FOUR, bowler misses the yorker and batsman is in no mood to let him off, doesn't bother to get his front leg in line with the delivery, just goes through the line and smacks it straight down the ground |
146 | 1 run, batsman and bowler collide. Short and slow outside off, batsman cuts it on the bounce to backward point. Both were ball watching and batsman dashed into the bowler, bowler is down on the ground and batsman makes his crease. The team skipper goes back to check on bowler and the Englishman is fine |
147 | SIX, batsman picked the bones out of that. Length delivery right in the slot and it was a clean swing of the bat from batsman, lofted it with a straight bat and cleared long-on with ease |
148 | FOUR, batsman is playing a blinder here. bowler goes short and outside off, it was the off-speed delivery and batsman spotted it early, carves it up and over backward point. No need to run for those |
149 | FOUR, 16 runs off the over and not the best of outings for bowler on IPL debut. He finishes with 3-0-35-0. Once more the slower delivery is on the shortish length, batsman waits and cuts it behind square, splitting backward point and short third man to perfection |
150 | FOUR, off-pace delivery and once more batsman read it early, he waited in his crease and stayed leg-side of the ball, lofts it handsomely over the extra cover fielder. All timing there from the Tamil Nadu man |
151 | FOUR, batsman does a ABD. The reverse sccop. Full delivery and close to the yorker length, batsman switches his stances and sends it over the short third man fielder, almost went the distance |
152 | out Caught by Suryakumar Yadav!! A fine knock ends. He provided the much needed impetus to the innings. Deserved a fifty, but that's cricket. Short delivery that caught batsman by a bit of surprise, pulled it towards long-on and Suryakumar takes the easiest of catches. Raina pats him on the back as he trudges off. batsman c Suryakumar Yadav b bowler 47(25) [4s-6 6s-2] |
153 | FOUR, that's a shocker from Kuldeep and he concedes four runs. This was dropped short and wide of off, McCullum backed away and cut it straight to backward point. Kuldeep dived over the ball and ends up conceding a boundary |
154 | FOUR, batsman finishes off in style. Very full and outside off, batsman crouches low, opens the bat face and drives it square on the off-side, the field was up and that was played beautifully |
155 | out Caught by Y Pathan!! batsman falls and team have struck early. A nothing shot from the England opener. This was another long hop from bowler, batsman rocked back on the pull, didn't go through with the shot completely - was perhaps just looking to help it on its way, gets a fat top-edge, high and over mid-wicket. Yusuf ran back and completed an easy catch. batsman looks gutted as he walks off. batsman c Y Pathan b bowler 14(12) [4s-3] |
156 | SIX, massive, tossed up nicely by bowler, fell right into McCullum's hitting zone, he gets forward and clubs it high and over mid-wicket, went a long way over the ropes |
157 | FOUR, cracking shot, poor ball from bowler, drops this one short and wide of off, McCullum makes room and cracks it over cover, couple of bounces and over the ropes |
158 | FOUR, bowler has been too short today, drags his length down once again. McCullum rocks back and pulls him past the square leg umpire |
159 | FOUR, nicely played! Fraction fuller and on the stumps, batsman leans forward, presents the full face of the bat and punches it back at the bowler. bowler got a hand onto it, but it still beats mid-off to the fence |
160 | FOUR, this is excellent cricket from batsman, made room as he came down the track. bowler spotted it and followed him - batsman is good enough to tuck it past square leg, the man in the deep is very square and has no chance |
161 | 2 runs, that will go down as a chance, but Kuldeep did very well to get to the ball, got both hands and lost control as he fell down. Would have been a stunner had he held on. This was short and on the stumps, batsman was making room for the pull, gets slightly cramped on the shot, hits it high and over mid-on. Kuldeep ran a long way back, stretched as he got both hands to the ball - but can't complete the finishing act |
162 | FOUR, Kuldeep can't afford to drop short on this pitch. McCullum rocks back and pulls it through mid-wicket, bisects the two men in the deep to a nicety |
163 | SIX, McCullum is in some form alright, comes down the track, doesn't get too close to the ball, allows him a free swing and he deposits it high and into the sightscreen. Another expensive over for the Knight Riders |
164 | FOUR, that ruins the over for bowler, leg-stump half-volley, all batsman had to do was get some bat on that. Once he did - fine-leg, who was inside the ring had no chance |
165 | out Lbw!! Kuldeep has his man. This was tossed up on the leg-stump line, McCullum was looking to turn it towards the on-side, the ball straightened and went past his inside edge, struck him low and in front of leg-stump, would have been crashing into the stumps. Easy call for the umpire and it's also time for the strategic break. batsman lbw b bowler 35(24) [4s-4 6s-2] |
166 | SIX, batsman gets going with a massive hit, Yusuf tosses one on the stumps, batsman gets a big stride forward, lifts it with the spin and sends it high and over deep mid-wicket for a maximum |
167 | SIX, back-to-back sixes from batsman, flighted delivery on the stumps, batsman gets forward and thumps it high and way over the fence at deep mid-wicket |
168 | FOUR, just goes through with a wild slog across the line, no timing whatsoever. All power. To Lynn's delight, it went in the gap behind the square leg umpire. First boundary for team |
169 | SIX, that's the batsman we saw in BBL. Full-blooded swing, clears his front leg, picks the length early and goes bang over mid-wicket |
170 | FOUR, stand and deliver! Half-volley in the slot, batsman won't miss out, watches the ball closely and dismisses it out of his sight |
171 | 1 run, advances and compiles a well-deserved fifty with a ease to long-on |
172 | FOUR, both of them have just played themselves in such good form here. Full ball outside off, batsman clears his front leg and crashes it inside-out to send it to the wide long-off fence. Superb hand-eye co-ordination |
173 | FOUR, really ordinary bowling. It's a gentle short of length delivery on off-stump, the ball sits up for batsman who bludgeons it through mid-wicket |
174 | FOUR, awful from bowler. He bangs it in very short but the speedometer just shows 128kph. The ball was actually on its way down when batsman slashed it over backward point. team being clobbered out there |
175 | FOUR, down the track in a flash, right to the pitch of the ball, and driven so beautifully over the covers. The trick in the shot was that he delayed the charge and came out only when the ball was released |
176 | 1 run, bowls it short from round the wicket, batsman pulls it away to deep square leg. 150 of the partnership comes up |
177 | SIX, way too many half-trackers from bowler today. Just can't get away with it at this level. Lynn rocks back and blooters it over long-on |
178 | SIX, that about sums their night up. McCullum makes a blunder in the deep and palms the ball over the ropes. A miscue from Lynn off a full toss, should have been taken at long-off |
179 | FOUR, short of length, probably an off-cutter, Lynn mows the ball in front of long-leg who comes running forward for the catch. But the ball drops well short and then bounces over him |
180 | SIX, flat, strong, six! Kulkarni misses his mark, bowls it in the slot and is walloped over long-on. Lynn can do no wrong |
181 | FOUR, that's spanked! The open stance helps him figure the line and length quickly, uses all his might to smash it straight down the ground |
182 | FOUR, batsman and his golf hits I tellya. This isn't off the middle, but that bottom hand power and the baseball swing takes it the distance, just one bounce and over the long-on ropes |
183 | SIX, boy, has he nailed it! You bet. 95-metre smite. bowler serves length and gets smoked for a maximum over long-off |
184 | FOUR, rank long hop, batsman says thank you. Short, down leg, batsman swivels and nails the pull behind square |
185 | FOUR, too much width gestures Raina as soon as he saw the ball flying over backward point. Tad short and Lynn pounced on the width on offer, slices the cut and gets four |
186 | FOUR, 50-partnership. Clears his front leg and goes bam over mid-on. Right out of the screws |
187 | FOUR, bowler Koushik isn't learning. Keeps landing it short and gets smacked. batsman rocks onto his back foot and all he needed to do was get it over the fielder, did it with sheer ease |
188 | byes, FOUR, keeps low and nutmegs DK, batsman didn't pick it, neither did the keeper, runs are runs |
189 | FOUR, sits on one knee and chips the slog-sweep over mid-wicket, excellent batting this from GG |
190 | FOUR, outside edge and four! Opens the bat face to steer, the edge flies to the right of Kulkarni who dives belatdely |
191 | FOUR, make that 20 off the over. batsman has raced off to 40 in no-time. A real dart on the pads, batsman milks it off his pads. Easy peasy |
192 | SIX, if that ball had voice, it would have pleaded: "Chris please take me for a journey". Lynn heard that and obliged, rubbish length ball outside off and the next thing Smith sees is the ball flying over deep mid-wicket |
193 | FOUR, stands tall in the crease and flat-bats a shortish delivery straight down the ground |
194 | SIX, in his zone and Lynn doesn't have any second thoughts. Marmalizes it with utter disdain, Roy came in the way to interrupt, he was never going to catch that. Never |
195 | SIX, the onslaught continues... Full ball, don't even look back Mr Smith, the ball has gone to Brisbane. Period |
196 | 1 run, slower length ball outside off, Lynn drills it through cover and brings up a sparkling fifty |
197 | 2 runs, short ball on middle, batsman jumps on the back foot and lifts the pull over mid-wicket. 4th fastest team 100 in the history of IPL, gee! |
198 | FOUR, bowler Koushik's night keeps getting worse. Fires it short and wide, Lynn gets a feather of an edge on the attempted cut, the edge runs past DK's gloves |
199 | FOUR, edged and four! Streaky way to get off the mark, but batsman won't mind. Seam-up delivery that shapes away a tad, batsman chases it with a slash and gets a fat outside edge. The ball flies between slip and short third man. First boundary of the innings |
Subsets and Splits
