14.5
Plunkett to Hardik Pandya, 1 run, width on offer outside off stump, Pandya guides it to third man
14.4
Plunkett to Hardik Pandya, 2 runs, in the airrrr and just wide of mid-wicket, that's running away for four, but what a brilliant save by Stokes near the rope. First he ran to his right from long-on and flicks it back, the ball still threatens to roll towards the rope but he dived full length once again to push it back firmly. Pandya thought he had a boundary with that pull shot
14.3
Plunkett to Hardik Pandya, no run, again just played straight to short mid-wicket
14.2
Plunkett to Hardik Pandya, no run, worked straight to short mid-wicket
14.1
Plunkett to Hardik Pandya, no run, this short of length delivery seems to have kept a touch low, Pandya manages to adjust and defend
10.6
Plunkett to Raina, 1 run, uppish but safe! Raina would be kicking himself had he found the fielder with this flick shot. Full toss on the leg stump, Raina goes through square leg and Billings took it on the bounce in the deep
10.5
Plunkett to Raina, FOUR, inside-out hit from Raina and he places it pretty well, despite the bat turning in his hands. Stepped out to drive this length ball, placed it to the right of mid-off, could so easily have been a catch as well
10.4
Plunkett to Dhoni, 1 run, fullish and on the leg stump, Dhoni pushes it down to long-on and opens his account. As always, he got a loud roar from the crowd as he walked out to bat
10.3
Plunkett to Raina, 1 run, short of length delivery on the leg stump, Raina works it to deep square leg
10.2
Plunkett to Raina, no run, bumper on the stumps, Raina ducks under it
10.1
Plunkett to Yuvraj, out Caught by Adil Rashid!! Wowww! That is a stunning grab by Rashid running forward from fine leg. Meanwhile, the umpires have sent that upstairs to see if it was a clean catch. The soft signal is OUT, the crowd gets excited as they see the replay on the big screen. Don't think that's grounded, although the gap between the fingers tends to suggest that the ball touched the floor and the crowd goes "oooohhh" as OUT flashes on the LED screen. Correct call I would say. Coming back to the delivery, Plunkett banged it short, Yuvraj looked to pull, didn't fully go through with the shot, managed to get a top edge that went high up in the air, Rashid judged that to perfection, dived forward and closed his fingers just at the right time to ensure that it wasn't grassed. Yuvraj c Adil Rashid b Plunkett 12(13) [4s-1]
5.6
Plunkett to Raina, FOUR, he's very good with his lofted drives straight down the ground, although this wasn't middled well. Don't bowl full and on the stumps or close to the off stump to this bloke when the field is up. Clears his front leg and plays his trademark lofted straight drive, got a lot of height on it, the ball lands inside the rope and beats the fielders for four
5.5
Plunkett to Kohli, 1 run, Kohli goes off-side but Plunkett drops it short, forcing the Indian captain to just tap into the off-side off the back foot
5.4
Plunkett to Raina, 1 run, now he walks right across the stumps and works this very full delivery behind square
5.3
Plunkett to Raina, FOUR, Raina dances down the track and attempts a big shot, not in full control but he gets a boundary. Plunkett dropped it slightly short on seeing the batsman charge, Raina swings and gets it on the outside half of the bat, the ball flies over backward point and even a dive from third man wasn't good enough to stop the boundary
5.2
Plunkett to Raina, no run, that's a good-looking stylish off-drive from Raina, but hit straight to mid-off
5.1
Plunkett to Kohli, 1 run, short of length delivery on the stumps, Kohli turns it to square leg
3.6
Plunkett to Kohli, 1 run, good bowling from Plunkett, followed Kohli as he backed away, cramped the batsman with a length ball and Kohli could only flick it along the ground through square leg
3.5
Plunkett to Rahul, 1 run, oops! Rahul is hit on the glove. Bit of extra bounce for Plunkett as he bowls cross-seamed for this short of length delivery, Rahul was looking to defend, the ball jumped and hit Rahul on the bottom glove, causing some pain
3.4
Plunkett to Kohli, 1 run, tapped towards backward point and they take an easy run
3.3
Plunkett to Kohli, no run, swing and a miss. Width on offer outside off stump, Kohli threw his hands at it and made no contact
3.2
Plunkett to Kohli, FOUR, now that's a top shot from Kohli. Length delivery outside off stump, Kohli spotted that early, waited for it to come and muscled that off the back foot over cover. Great pose there from Kohli after playing that shot
3.1
Plunkett to Kohli, FOUR, new bowler in the attack and Kohli wants to attack him straightaway. Oopsy! Jason Roy, giving chase bumps into the ball boy, who did not back away in his excitement to catch that white cricket ball. Roy wasn't impressed. Could have been a serious injury, thankfully not. Short of a length delivery outside off stump, Kohli lofts this over cover-point and gets a boundary
