800 | FOUR, with mid-wicket inside the ring, the pull is a safe shot. That is if you get it right. batsman was almost cramped for room, but got the pull high on the bat and placed it to the left of mid-wicket. No chance for long-on to cut it off |
801 | out Caught by Eoin Morgan!! Catching practice for Morgan. Another partnership that had started to flourish is nipped in the bud. Not the greatest of shots from Iyer. It was a length delivery alright and he wanted to loft it over the long-on fence, the bat turned on impact and the ball went up towards long-on. Second ca... |
802 | 1 run, fifty for batsman. Raises his bat and acknowledges the applause from the home crowd. Still a long way to go for him. The pitch has started to get slower and run making is not going to be easy. With him being set, DD would want him to carry on. Coming to the ball: Plays the slower delivery with soft hands into th... |
803 | FOUR, bowler almost deceived his man. Saw the batsman advance and pushed it wider, batsman reached out and lofted it inside out, not off the meat of the bat but had enough to collect a boundary |
804 | out Caught by Miller!! The small little things that you do produce the bigger things. That Vohra stop kept batsman on strike and what happens next? The Kent man miscues a loft to long-on. Takes a couple of steps down, not close to the ball but still goes through with the loft. Right off the toe-end and almost had enoug... |
805 | FOUR, long-off had around 10 yards to cover and he couldn't get there. That is the power of batsman. Races down the wicket and gets to the pitch of the ball, lofts it hard and over extra cover, one bounce and into the fence |
806 | no run, almost thumped it back to bowler. Flatter offie around, Anderson hangs back and punches it straight down the wicket, did not keep it down the ground, bowler is late to react, the ball hits his upper part of his hand and goes to ground. Tough chance but should have been taken |
807 | FOUR, wow! Width offered and batsman is all over it. There was a deep cover fielder and he beat him to his right. Short as well and batsman slaps it in front of square, raced away to the fence |
808 | FOUR, even the mishits are going to the fence, thanks to some sloppy work by Morgan. Short and turning away, batsman pulls and the bottom hand comes off the handle, the ball goes to wide long-on, where Morgan allows it to escape |
809 | out Caught by Eoin Morgan!! Done in for pace. An important wicket for team. batsman was looking to get on with proceedings. Short and angled across off, pulling against the angle is always dangerous, batsman takes it on and splices it towards mid-off. Morgan might be having a rough day with his ground fielding, but not... |
810 | FOUR, lovely! No fancy shots from Morris. He uses bowler's extra pace to his advantage, stays leg-side of the short of length delivery, opens the bat face and directs it behind square on the off-side, split backward point and short third man expertly |
811 | FOUR, Anderson reminding everyone that he has the second fastest ODI hundred. The extra delivery costing bowler four runs. Length delivery right in the slot, Anderson slams it straight down the ground. Almost knocked the umpire off |
812 | SIX, that's how you cash in. Something for Billings to learn. 95kph slower delivery and Morris picked the bones out of that one, delayed his shot and that allowed it him to send it sailing over long-on. That gets the crowd going as well |
813 | FOUR, round the wicket and dishes in a full toss, the idea was to nail the yorker, missed and Anderson slices it over the infield on the off-side. The fielder was at deep cover and even though the ball plugged in the outfield, he couldn't get there |
814 | out Caught by Mohit Sharma!! Huge wicket this, especially at this stage of the innings. Morris blasted a 9-ball 38 in the previous game against team, coming in at this stage. Short of a length delivery and Morris pulls, he does not bother to keep it down, was planning to clear the fielder. But since it was off the bott... |
815 | SIX, bowler became predictable there. He was targeting Anderson's pads, missed his length and the Kiwi got underneath that, swung it over the long leg fence and the short Kotla boundaries took care of the rest |
816 | SIX, it was a gamble and it didn't pay off. Darted in on a shortish length, Anderson sets himself up with the front leg cleared, muscles it towards long-on. Maxwell leaps as high as possible, but couldn't even get a finger on it |
817 | FOUR, handy runs these for DD. Not a bad delivery by any means. The wide yorker outside off, Cummins crouches low, opens the bat face and steers it past the diving backward point fielder |
818 | FOUR, yorker followed by a slow short of length delivery, Cummins was waiting for that, he stayed on the back foot and pulled it in front of square, bisected deep mid-wicket and long-on to perfection |
819 | FOUR, switches to round the wicket for Anderson, misses the yorker by a few inches, Anderson smashes the low full toss straight down the ground. No chance for long-on or long-off |
820 | FOUR, you don't often see a batsman play sweep shot to a fast bowler. Let's call this batsman special. Buries on one knee and sweeps it fiercely behind square. Races away to the fence in a jiffy |
821 | SIX, Anderson ends the innings in style. Slower short of length delivery, sat up nicely for Anderson, who waits for it and pulls it to deep square leg. The ball teased the fielder, but he could only palm it over the rope |
822 | FOUR, wow. That was hammered ferociously. batsman charges down the track and smacks it down the ground |
823 | FOUR, batsman is teeing off like a golfer. Uses his feet again, stays a bit leg sidish this time. Fetches the heave from off and directs it through mid-wicket |
824 | FOUR, three in a row. Problems aplenty for bowler. Just not getting his line right. Slants it on the pads, fine leg was inside the ring and batsman will put it away seven days a week and twenty four hours a day. Flicks it past short fine |
825 | SIX, caps off the over with a stinker. Short ball sat up nicely for batsman, he gets on top of it and nails the pull over wide long-on. Just about clears the fence |
826 | 1 run, rushes it through outside off, batsman goes deep in his crease and pats it softly to cover |
827 | out Caught by Eoin Morgan!! First wicket for bowler in IPL 2017. Has struck in his first over. Tosses it up this time, the ball dips in a touch. batsman plays down the wrong line, gets a leading edge that ballons up straight to long-off. Morgan ain't dropping those.batsman c Eoin Morgan b bowler 19(18) [4s-2 6s-1] |
828 | out Caught by Saha!! That's an excellent catch from Saha. Credit to Varun, kept persisting it with short pitch stuff and it pays off. After conceding 13 runs in his first over, he shows great courage and picks up a wicket. It was short and drifting down leg, batsman, in a bid to tickle it fine, gloves it to the left of... |
829 | FOUR, streaky but he won't mind. bowler sees the batsman back away and hurls it full outside off, batsman throws his bat and gets a thickish outside edge that flies through the vacant slip region |
830 | FOUR, top shot from Iyer. Sees the leg-break early, lunges across, opens the bat face and steers it past point. The fielder in the deep gets across and puts in a dive but in vain |
831 | FOUR, easy-peasy for Iyer. Vrooming down leg, Iyer gets inside the line and tickles it fine |
832 | FOUR, brilliant placement from Iyer. Bisects two men in the deep to perfection. Showing a piece of geometry that would put Euclid to shame. bowler strays it on the pads again, Iyer gets right behind it and clips it behind square |
833 | out Lbw!! Shahbaz bowler strikes in his very first over. He's having a wonderful season. The umpire took his time before raising the dreaded finger. Did that pitch in line? Yes, it did and spun away. batsman gets down on one knee and in his attempt to lap it fine, misses it completely. He is pinged on the thigh pad in ... |
834 | out Caught by Nair!! He's cut that straight to backward point this time. That's a big blow. Morgan was starting to find some fluency but he now finds the fielder. Short and wide from Cummins, Morgan goes hard but fails to keep it down and it's straight to Karun Nair. batsman c Nair b bowler 22(20) [4s-3] |
835 | out Caught by Billings!! Is that the game for DD? The in-form batsman is gone for a duck. Too much pressure really. He had to tee off from the word go with the required rate touching 13, and bowler isn't the most straightforward bloke to take on first up. He cleverly bowls it a little wide of off forcing batsman to rea... |
836 | SIX, gosh, that's big from Patel. Way back into the stands. bowler turns one into him this time, Patel goes down quickly and picks the bones out of the slog-sweep. Elevation as well as the distance |
837 | FOUR, his first boundary today and it's come off a thick inside edge past short fine. Anderson bowls this in the blockhole just outside off, batsman jams down on it and squirts it away past leg-stump |
838 | 1 run, is that a dropped catch? It looks like it. Another very full ball, batsman crashes it to the right of cover where Zaheer goes across low with both hands but fails to hold on |
839 | out Lbw!! batsman's painful stay at the crease has ended through a full toss. Anderson gets some tail on the delivery and swirls it in on middle, and batsman plays all around it. His head fell over too. The ball crashes into the back leg on the full. Just one of those days for batsman. Never found any timing whatsoever... |
840 | 2 runs, bowler only had to gather that and Mohit was gone. But the throw landed very close to him making it difficult. Knuckle ball outside off, Patel punches it through backward point and calls his partner back for two despite the fielder swooping in quickly |
841 | FOUR, short and wide, Patel slashes and slashes hard. The edge flies away through to the third man boundary |
842 | FOUR, he's unwittingly sliced that over short third man. A knuckle ball outside off, Mohit throws his hands at it, the bat-face opens on impact and the ball beautifully lobs over the infield. A bit of a helicopter from Mohit too |
843 | SIX, drills this straight back down the ground. Anderson misses out on the blockhole by a few inches and is hammered by Patel. He's playing a good little knock here. But this chase is beyond his powers |
844 | SIX, another slower ball perhaps? Patel picks it up and nails it over long-on. He's been hitting them really well today |
845 | 1 run, dabs a short of length off-cutter straight to short third man. They impetuously run across for a non-existent single. Mohit had given up. No direct hit though |
846 | out Bowled!! Off the pads and into leg-stump. Cummins followed Mohit with a full ball as he backed away a touch. The delivery is too quick for Mohit. He misses his swipe through mid-wicket and the ball deflects off the pad to knock over the timber. batsman b bowler 13(14) [4s-1] |
847 | out Bowled!! Similar technique from batsman - backing away to swish through off. But Morris does him with a yorker. It's too quick for batsman. The ball bursts through to crash into the base of middle. batsman b bowler 1(2) |
848 | FOUR, in the air and that's the first boundary of the innings! The knuckle ball on a shortish length, batsman walks down the track and pulls it over mid-wicket. There is no one in the deep and the ball races away |
849 | out Bowled!! The leg-bail flies off its groove and that's the game for Delhi. Massive win. Morris causes Patel to go through with the slog too early as he holds it back in pace and the deception is good enough to fetch him his third for the night. batsman b bowler 44(29) [4s-1 6s-3] |
850 | FOUR, shot! Perhaps, a safe shot. Stands tall, waits for the ball to come to him and launches this short of a good length delivery over mid-off. One bounce and into the fence |
851 | FOUR, flat and slightly short, batsman backs away and carves it over point. Two fielders chase, but can't chase it down |
852 | out Caught by Zaheer!! Zaheer takes a catch and claims it. The umpires decide to go up and the soft signal is out. It was darted in on off, batsman danced down, moved leg-side and went for the inside-out shot. Couldn't get enough elevation on that and finds Zak at extra cover. The ball was dipping when it approached hi... |
853 | FOUR, beautiful shot! See the ball, hit the ball, is the mantra. A round-armish delivery from bowler, batsman who has taken leg-stump guard, has enough room to free his arms. Strokes it over and wide of mid-off to collect his third boundary |
854 | FOUR, wow! Elegant. batsman shuffles across a long way and flicks this full ball around off very fine. No chance for the man at short fine leg. The ball reached the fence in a hurry |
855 | out Caught by Billings!! Would you believe that? batsman perishes to a full toss. There was one fielder in the deep on the leg-side and batsman finds him perfectly. A low full toss on the pads, batsman with a slight shuffle, flicks it in the air and hits it straight down the throat of Billings at long leg. Punjab in a ... |
856 | 1 run, ah! A direct hit there at the striker's end would have been curtains to Eoin Morgan! batsman taps this length ball to covers with soft hands and sets off. Billings chases it down and fires in a throw quickly. Misses the target just by a few inches |
857 | FOUR, shot! Shortish ball that sits up nicely for Morgan to thwack the pull from outside off. Found the gap between mid-on and mid-wicket and the result was a boundary |
858 | FOUR, a boundary for team after 24 balls. Morgan clears the front leg and spears a full ball through extra-cover. Mid-off was up in the ring and he just had to find the gap |
859 | FOUR, Morgan again. This time it's short and wide and Morgan slaps it hard through point. It beats the diving fielder inside the ring as well as the one at the boundary |
860 | out Caught by Nitish Rana!! The dangerous one is gone and the crowd go wild. bowler is delighted. Smith sees the width outside off on this short of length delivery and slashes hard. Doesn't get enough elevation and finds Nitish Rana at backward point, who jumps and takes a good catch. Smith departs without troubling th... |
861 | FOUR, and batsman takes full toll of the free-hit. Bends his back knee and crunches the cover drive wide of the diving extra cover fielder. Once it cleared him, there was none stopping that |
862 | no ball, FOUR, bowler oversteps and bowls a length ball on middle and leg. batsman shuffles across and tucks it very fine. The short fine leg fielder is pretty fine as well. Free-hit coming up |
863 | 1 run, fifty for McCullum. A very unlike McCullum innings this. Waves his bat around and is congratulated by his skipper. Looked scratchy to start off and has slowly found his bearings. team would want him to continue. Flatter and on off, worked to deep square leg |
864 | 1 run, direct hit and McCullum would have been on his bike. batsman punched this towards extra cover, where Suchith got a good bounce and it was to his strong hand as well. Fires a throw at the striker's end and fails to hit the stumps. McCullum was stretching and would have been touch and go |
865 | out Caught by Rohit!! This was on the cards. batsman kept charging down to the spinners without much success, but he didn't stop trying. Shimmies down and bowler being a clever bowler, tosses it up well outside off, batsman has to reach out for the inside out loft, all he could manage was a slice towards cover-point. R... |
866 | SIX, a gift which McCullum accepts with pleasure. Full toss just below the waist, McCullum maintains a low base and helps it along the way, over long leg for a maximum |
867 | FOUR, McCullum has had the wood over bowler in this innings. Continues to collect runs off the Sri Lankan. Full and down leg, McCullum tickles it very fine. No chance for Bumrah in the deep |
868 | out Bowled!! That roar and fist pump says it all. Just takes one delivery for bowler to change the tide. A fine knock from McCullum comes to an end. Battled hard and has built a platform for his lower-order. Straight delivery, McCullum plays all round it, the ball sneaks through bat and pad to hit middle stump. Two set... |
869 | SIX, 200th six this edition. And we are just into the 11th day. Improvisation at its best. batsman moves across his stumps and gets underneath the back of a length delivery, uses the pace of Hardik and scoops it over the fine leg fence |
870 | no ball, FOUR, poor from bowler. First, he oversteps and the yorker is way outside off, batsman stays low and drives it square on the off-side. No chance for the sweeper this time around |
871 | FOUR, bowler has not get his radar right on his yorkers. A low full toss down leg, Kishan is almost down on his knee and swipes it behind square. McClenaghan at fine leg had no chance to cut that off |
872 | FOUR, this is an ordinary over from bowler. 19 runs off it and he like Malinga has been expensive today. Full toss on the pads, batsman says thank you very much and flicks it behind square leg. The man was up inside the ring and the ball was well away from him |
873 | SIX, he is a small man but when he hits them, he certainly packs a punch. Short of length delivery angled across off, batsman goes deep inside the crease and pulls it over deep mid-wicket. Flat and all the way. 50-run stand and 150 up for team |
874 | out Caught by Krunal Pandya!! Something for the 18000 kids to cheer about. bowler has provided the breakthrough. Kishan has been asked to wait by Ravi. The front leg is fine. Legal delivery that and Ravi raises his finger. The back of the hand slower ball dug in short, Kishan takes it on and top edges it to deep square... |
875 | SIX, why was batsman held back? Can someone tell me? Such power and timing he possesses. This was more power and the ball cleared Pollard with ease. bowler misses the yorker length and batsman gets under that, though a miscue the ball still goes over long-on with ease. A rare off-day for bowler, finishes with: 4-0-51-1 |
876 | FOUR, low full toss and batsman thumps it down the ground. Goes deep and leg-side to free his arms, with mid-off in the ring, he just had to place it wide of him, which he does and collects four |
877 | FOUR, short ball and McCullum latches onto it! No pace behind that delivery to trouble. He waits this slower delivery to come to him and pulls it away wide of the man at 45 |
878 | FOUR, trademark McCullum shot! Dances down to a fast bowler and thwacks this length ball down the ground. No chance for the bowler and the ball reaches the fence in a hurry |
879 | SIX, wow! He made that look easy. McCullum waltzes down and bowler shortens his length. But there was enough width outside off for McCullum his free his arms. He expertly elevates over the point region and it has enough wings to go all the way |
880 | SIX, shot! It's the slower ball from bowler and McCullum picks the bones out of it. Waits for it to come to him and muscles it over mid-wicket. Second maximum of the over |
881 | FOUR, another flighted delivery, not much of turn and McCullum brooms it away through mid-wicket. The man in the deep couldn't get there |
882 | FOUR, ends the over with a poor ball. Darts it short, McCullum rockets back and pulls it fiercely through the mid-wicket region |
883 | FOUR, one bounce into the fence! Gets down on one leg and middles the slog sweep. Found the gap between long-on and deep mid-wicket to perfection |
884 | out Caught by Roy!! Parthiv goes for a blob. Praveen Kumar is effective with the new ball and once again he gets the breakthrough. Good seam presentation on this good length delivery. It pitches on middle and jags away off the track. Parthiv gets a leading edge looking to work it through the on-side and finds point. Ja... |
885 | FOUR, top shot to get off the mark! Of course, he was helped by Praveen. Drifting down leg, Rana dances down and flicks it over short fine and the ball bullets away into the fence |
886 | FOUR, stand and deliver! No need to run for shots like that. Length ball that sits up nicely for Rana stand tall and drill it wide of the bowler. No chance for mid-on |
887 | 1 run, dropped! Jason Roy has put down a dolly. The pacy short ball catches Rana by surprise. He still persists with his pull shot and gets it off the top part of the willow. The ball balloons up on the leg-side. Roy, at mid-wicket, runs back, settles under it and makes a mess of it. Thampi can't believe it. He has to ... |
888 | out Caught by Brendon McCullum!! First IPL game after three years and Munaf has his first wicket. And it is a vital breakthrough. Another start and another stutter for batsman. His rope is coming to an end, especially with Simmons waiting in the wings. Short of a length delivery, batsman pulls and gets it high on the b... |
889 | FOUR, that should get him going. First boundary for batsman this edition. Short and wide delivery, batsman hangs back and relies on placing the ball, cuts it between backward point and short third man |
890 | FOUR, Munaf is not a happy man. Short and wide outside off, batsman cuts it over backward point, where the fielder did not make any effort to catch the ball. He might have lost it in the background. Jadeja was the fielder and he simply stood his ground |
891 | SIX, 120kph slower short of length delivery, sat up nicely for batsman, who pulls it off the front foot, struck it flat and over the wide long-on fence |
892 | SIX, just a lift and off it goes over the long-on fence. For the first time in the over Smith pitches it up, batsman nonchalantly puts it over long-on. Just an extension of the arm and the ball flew away |
893 | FOUR, goes back to the shortish length and takes the pace off as well, batsman pulls and is a touch early into the shot, the bottom hand comes off but the ball is in the gap, wide of deep mid-wicket and four more |
894 | SIX, lovely shot! This is batsman Sharma we all know. Flighted on off, he makes a bit of room to go inside out and connects handsomely, the ball crosses the boundary cushion by a metre or so |
895 | 1 run, as expected starts with a slower delivery outside off, batsman drives to sweeper cover |
896 | SIX, just over a leaping McCullum at long-off. Short of length delivery outside off, batsman flat-bats it straight back over Tye, McCullum standing at straightish long-off, jumps up and couldn't even get a finger |
897 | FOUR, a pick up shot and that has almost gone the distance. Angled in on off and middle, batsman flicks it away powerfully. Roy like McCullum was straight at long-on, he can only pick the ball up from the boundary rope |
898 | 1 run, run-out chance and Kishan hits the stump mic instead of the stumps. batsman was a goner. Thampi nails the wide yorker, batsman digs it to point and sets off for the single, no response from Rohit and he had to turn back, well short with a direct hit. No one backing up and the duo eventually get the single |
899 | out Caught by Jadeja!! Not over, yet. Still need 17 runs off 11 balls. Credit must go to Thampi for bowling a tight 18th over. batsman had to take the risk and he perishes while doing so. Full and slow, on middle and leg, since there was no pace, batsman could not gather momentum on the flick, skies it towards deep mid... |
