Brad Evans to Hardik Pandya, SIX, highest total of this World Cup! Slower one down leg, back of a length, it sits up and Hardik swings it one-handed over backward square. Brings up his fifty and also the highest total of the tournament so far

Brad Evans to Hardik Pandya, SIX, again he misses the blockhole, bowls it in the slot and Hardik is deep in the crease waiting for a mistake. Gets under it and pumps it flat down the ground

Richard Ngarava to Tilak Varma, SIX, six more! Slower juicy full toss, Tilak collapses the back knee, gets low and slogs it high and long over midwicket

Richard Ngarava to Tilak Varma, SIX, another smashing pull shot over long-on, just like he did in the previous over as well! Slower one on off, short of length, he opens the hip and whacks it

Richard Ngarava to Hardik Pandya, FOUR, pulled hard and flat, goes to the boundary like a rocket! No chance for the fielder at deep midwicket. Just got stuck into this slower ball around the waist

Blessing Muzarabani to Tilak Varma, SIX, all the way over long-on! He's playing a blinder here. Slower one dug into the pitch, sits up around the chest and Tilak nails the pull down the ground. India achieve their highest total in T20 World Cups with two overs to go

Blessing Muzarabani to Tilak Varma, FOUR, not great bowling. Full toss wide of off, all Tilak has to do is get some bat and it flies. Slices it over backward point

Blessing Muzarabani to Hardik Pandya, SIX, slower ball disappears. Floated up right in the slot, too easy for Hardik who swipes it over midwicket. Wasn't even a full-blooded swipe, just a punch

Brad Evans to Tilak Varma, SIX, smoked over extra cover! Full and wide outside off, slower one from Evans and Tilak manages to reach out before going through with the lofted drive. The timing on it is sublime. Didn't go too hard but it just flew off the middle

Brad Evans to Hardik Pandya, FOUR, dragged past the stumps off the inside edge! Slower ball on middle and leg, he looks to slog across the line but only manages a thick inside edge. Was nicely bowled off the back of the hand

Blessing Muzarabani to Tilak Varma, FOUR, Tilak has come out firing! Bends across for the scoop, gets under it and lifts it nicely over the keeper

Richard Ngarava to Tilak Varma, FOUR, short and wide, and it's a cracking start from Tilak as he slaps it over backward point

Richard Ngarava to Suryakumar Yadav, out Caught by Tashinga Musekiwa!! Musekiwa finally hangs on to one. Must be such a relieved man after dropping three in a row. Hetmyer twice, Kishan once, and hangs onto this one from Surya. Change in angle works for Ngarava. Short of length, angled in around off, and Surya backs away looking to slap it hard. Miscues it off the toe-end, slices it high and Musekiwa runs in from the cover boundary to take the catch. Suryakumar Yadav c Tashinga Musekiwa b Richard Ngarava 33(13) [4s-3 6s-2]

Richard Ngarava to Suryakumar Yadav, SIX, that's a proper slog from Surya! Opens the front hip, clears the front leg and wildly hacks it over midwicket. It skims off the middle over the ropes

Ryan Burl to Hardik Pandya, 1 run, brilliant effort from Raza, saves a six! Another step-hit from Hardik, doesn't quite get hold of it, drags it flat off the inside half to the right of long-on. Still was clearing the ropes and Raza leaps across for the catch. He takes it and flicks it back before going over the ropes

Ryan Burl to Hardik Pandya, SIX, launched down the ground! Proper lollipop from Burl, floats it up right in the slot and Hardik absolutely nails it over long-on

Tinotenda Maposa to Abhishek Sharma, out Caught by Sikandar Raza!! Relief for Maposa! After being hammered everywhere, he now has a wicket. Sticks to the slower ball, manages to keep it on a wide line outside off and Abhishek miscues it down to long-on. Wanted to clobber it over the ropes but got it right off the toe-end. Safely taken by captain Raza. Abhishek Sharma c Sikandar Raza b Tinotenda Maposa 55(30) [4s-4 6s-4]

Tinotenda Maposa to Abhishek Sharma, wide, slower one again, drifts away wide of off and Abhishek lets it go. Just outside the marker and called wide

Tinotenda Maposa to Abhishek Sharma, FOUR, Maposa is being taken to the cleaners. Another slower one, right in the slot and Abhishek hammers it straight back

Tinotenda Maposa to Suryakumar Yadav, SIX, now down the ground from Surya! That's not necessarily his strong zone but if you bowl in the slot as Maposa has done here, he'll pounce. Lovely swing through the line to loft it over mid-off, goes all the way too. Picked the bones out of the slower one

Tinotenda Maposa to Suryakumar Yadav, FOUR, backs away and carves it over short third! Slower short ball, Surya made his own room before hitting the upper-cut to perfection. Maposa having a horror outing so far

Brad Evans to Suryakumar Yadav, FOUR, dropped by Muzarabani! A pick-up shot that should've been taken at fine leg. Full on the pads, Surya doesn't quite get hold of it, and it goes flat in front of Muzarabani in the deep. Maybe he didn't pick it up very well. Ended up having to plunge forward with the ball dying on him, should've still taken it as he made the ground but it sneaks through

Sikandar Raza to Suryakumar Yadav, FOUR, Surya off the mark with four! Full outside off, he gets across low and sweeps it past short fine

Sikandar Raza to Ishan Kishan, out Caught by Richard Ngarava!! Gone! Sikandar Raza roars in delight. Got the ball to land on a length and spun it wide of off, made Ishan Kishan fetch and the cut shot travels straight to backward point. An excellent knock nonetheless. Ishan Kishan c Richard Ngarava b Sikandar Raza 38(24) [4s-4 6s-1]

Sikandar Raza to Ishan Kishan, SIX, even bigger this time! Ishan Kishan steps out and gives this a mighty thump down the ground. Superb timing and intent from the pocket rocket...

Sikandar Raza to Ishan Kishan, FOUR, full and just outside off, Ishan Kishan bashes it down the ground and gets it wide of the man at long-off too his right

Sikandar Raza to Abhishek Sharma, 1 run, fifty up for Abhishek Sharma! Gets there with a flick to the left of deep mid-wicket. A huge roar from the crowd and India would hope that Abhishek can continue his rollicking form deep into the tournament...

Brian Bennett to Abhishek Sharma, SIX, and now Abhishek Sharma parks Bennett over long-on. He came down the pitch and got close to the delivery before launching it over the leaping fielder at long-on to his left

Brian Bennett to Ishan Kishan, 1 run, dropped. Oh dear, it's Musekiwa again. After a horror game in the field against WI, where he dropped Hetmyer twice, he has now put down Ishan Kishan. Decides to play the switch hit and meets the ball on the full in the process. It went off the splice of the bat and carried to Musekiwa at deep backward point. He put in a dive, got both hands and palmed it onto the ground. Brian Bennett is absolutely livid...

Sikandar Raza to Abhishek Sharma, 1 run, brings up the 50-run stand with a cut to the right of the fielder at backward point

Sikandar Raza to Ishan Kishan, FOUR, Ishan Kishan advances and throws his hands on the swipe. Not to the pitch of the delivery, but he's got enough power to hit the gap through mid-wicket

Richard Ngarava to Abhishek Sharma, SIX, Abhishek Sharma has well and truly arrived! A touch too late perhaps, but India won't mind that. Length ball in the slot outside off, Abhishek Sharma marmalizes it with disdain. Bang over the bowler's head for a mighty maximum...

Richard Ngarava to Ishan Kishan, FOUR, slower ball drifting down the leg-side, Ishan Kishan slogs the pull and manages to get enough power behind the shot to beat the fielder at short fine to his right

Richard Ngarava to Ishan Kishan, FOUR, that is a shocker from Richard Ngarava. A juicy full toss down the leg-side, Ishan Kishan crouches a touch and helps it away over short fine for a one-bounce boundary

Brad Evans to Abhishek Sharma, FOUR, 131ks fuller length outside off, Abhishek throws his hands on the slog and gets a thick inside edge that runs away in the gap between the keeper and short third

Brad Evans to Ishan Kishan, 2 runs, 133ks short ball angled in at the body, Ishan Kishan pulls to the biggest part of the ground and manages to get it wide of the man at deep square to his left

Blessing Muzarabani to Sanju Samson, out Caught by Ryan Burl!! Gone! Samson was so good against anything short, but not on this occasion. 106ks slower short ball that kept wobbling into the right hander. Samson had made room early and dragged the slog-pull off the thick inside half towards the man running in from deep mid-wicket. Burl kept his eyes on the ball and had to slide at the last moment to complete the catch. Sanju Samson c Ryan Burl b Blessing Muzarabani 24(15) [4s-1 6s-2]

Tinotenda Maposa to Abhishek Sharma, SIX, SKY is clapping in joy from the dugout. That was a proper hit-me from Tinotenda Maposa: Fuller and wider of off stump, Abhishek clears his front leg and clubs it clean over long-on. 23 off the over.

Tinotenda Maposa to Sanju Samson, FOUR, Samson is on a roll. Gets a 135ks length ball outside off, he throws his hands on the cut and hits it in the gap between short third and backward point

Tinotenda Maposa to Abhishek Sharma, FOUR, and this is why! 138ks overpitched outside off, Abhishek gets under it and smacks it back over the bowler's head

Tinotenda Maposa to Abhishek Sharma, no ball, FOUR, oh dear! A front foot no ball and Abhishek Sharma has lofted that handsomely over extra cover. The length was full and Abhishek had enough time to get under it. Freehit coming up...

Blessing Muzarabani to Sanju Samson, SIX, smoked! You could tell that was a six the moment ball left the bat. Banged in short and Samson was ready for it. Took a step back and thwacked the pull with an air of nonchalance over wide long-on for a 85-metre maximum

Richard Ngarava to Sanju Samson, leg byes, FOUR, past the fielder! 134ks length delivery down the leg-side, Samson misses the flick and it runs away off the thigh pad past the diving right hand of short fine

Richard Ngarava to Sanju Samson, SIX, that is a Sanju Samson special! 134ks seam-up length delivery in the zone wide of off stump, Samson transfers his weight onto the back foot and slaps it flat back over the bowler's head. Went all the way for a maximum...
