Azmatullah Omarzai to Jonny Bairstow, FOUR! Oh, dear! Noor Ahmad has made a mess of that one. Top delivery, full and swinging sharply away from the right-hander from off stump. Jonny Bairstow is forced to play at it but gets a thick outside edge past first slip and towards third man where Omarzai's fellow Afghan teammate lets it through for a boundary.

Azmatullah Omarzai to Jonny Bairstow, FOUR! Quality stroke from Jonny Bairstow this time. Just a tad full and wide, shaping away as well, Jonny stays on the front foot and gets his hands through the ball to cream it through covers for a boundary.

Azmatullah Omarzai to Jonny Bairstow, FOUR! Not perfectly timed but timed well enough! Fuller in length and brighter on off stump, Jonny Bairstow forces the drive through covers and beats a chasing Rashid Khan to pick up four more runs.

Umesh Yadav to Shikhar Dhawan, OUT! CHOPPED ON! Loose, too loose from Shikhar Dhawan, and Umesh Yadav picks up a big wicket off his very first delivery. Starts with a short and wide one from over the wicket and it is there to be hit. Dhawan's eyes light up and he looks to cut it away but his feet don't go anywhere and he ends up getting a thick inside edge as the ball goes back into the stumps. Gujarat get the early wicket they wanted. The skipper, and the man in-form for Punjab walks back to the sheds on a cheap score.

Umesh Yadav to Prabhsimran Singh, FOUR! Bludgeoned to the fence! Short of a length and over off stump, Prabhsimran Singh backs away a bit and forces the pull between mid on and mid-wicket for a boundary.

Umesh Yadav to Prabhsimran Singh, FOUR! That was dismissive from Prabhsimran Singh! Back of a length and around off stump, Singh comes down the pitch and flat-bats the shot right back over the bowler's head for a boundary.

Rashid Khan to Prabhsimran Singh, FOUR! Excellent shot! Flatter and quicker on middle and leg, Prabhsimran Singh is quick to make room and he cuts this one away through the point region for a boundary.

Noor Ahmad to Jonny Bairstow, OUT! BOWLED'EM! Noor Ahmad bowls an absolute ripper of a delivery and dismisses the dangerous-looking Jonny Bairstow on the very first ball! Noor Ahmad provides the air and lands this wrong'un on the leg and middle channel that turns back sharply. Jonny Bairstow plants his front foot with a straight bat but plays all over the line and it creates a huge gap between the pad and the bat. The ball sneaks through and breaks into the stumps. Gujarat get their second wicket.

Noor Ahmad to Prabhsimran Singh, FOUR! Clever, clever from the youngster. Noor lands it a bit overpitched but down the leg stump line, Prabhsimran Singh sits on his knee and guides the ball with a sweep shot through the short fine for a boundary.

Rashid Khan to Prabhsimran Singh, FOUR! Slogged away! Rashid lands it right in the arc on a fuller length, Prabhsimran Singh anticipates the length early and slogs it over mid on for a boundary.

Noor Ahmad to Prabhsimran Singh, OUT! TAKEN! Noor Ahmad provides another crucial wicket off a beauty of a delivery! Punjab are 3 down now and in a bit of trouble. Noor takes the pace off from the ball and provides the air to slide the googly on the off and middle stump line, keeps the length full. Prabhsimran Singh gets a bit greedy seeing the ball in the arc, and tries to hit it over the leg side, but he is way too early on the shot and gets a top edge that flies straight to the throat of Mohit Sharma stationed at point, and takes a simple catch. Prabhsimran Singh departs on 35 and Noor Ahmad has sent back both the well-set batters into the sheds just in the span of two overs now. Gujarat strike a comeback in the contest.

8.4
Azmatullah Omarzai to Sam Curran, OUT! TAKEN! He couldn't have timed it better but the placement was not good. Sam Curran is absolutely dejected and understandably so. Azmatullah Omarzai bangs it into the pitch on the off stump line, Sam Curran is quick to detect the length and pulls it hard but straight into the hands of Kane Williamson at mid-wicket. Sam Curran walks back to the sheds on 5 and Punjab are really in a big trouble here, and Gujarat are in the control now.

Mohit Sharma to Sikandar Raza, OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! An instant impact from Gujarat's talisman with the ball and Sikandar Raza is sent packing. That classic back-of-the-hand slower ball, bowled on a hard length and outside off. Raza charges down the track and looks to swing across the line but only gets an outside edge through to the keeper and Wriddhiman Saha makes no mistake with the gloves on. Punjab are now 5 down.

Mohit Sharma to Shashank Singh, FOUR! Cheeky and skillful from Shashank Singh! Another bumper, this time around off, Singh watches it closely and just leans a bit to ramp it over the keeper for a boundary.

Rashid Khan to Shashank Singh, SIX! Shashank Singh is playing a blinder here! Too full and on the pads, Singh gets down on one knee and slog-sweeps it away over deep square leg for a biggie.

Rashid Khan to Jitesh Sharma, SIX! What a run chase this has been so far! Two in two for Jitesh! On the fuller length on the stumps, Jitesh Sharma slogs it over deep mid-wicket for half a dozen. This game is far from being over.

Rashid Khan to Jitesh Sharma, OUT! TAKEN! Rashid Khan gets his man this time and Jitesh Sharma is in disarray after striking two consecutive sixes. A poor delivery again on offer, there to be hit. On a fuller length, right into the arc of the batter. Jitesh Sharma shuffles across a bit, and again goes for a slog hit over the deep mid-wicket region but he tries to hit it a bit too hard and ends up losing his shape totally in this process, which results in the mistiming of the shot straight towards Darshan Nalkande in the deep. Rashid Khan, the mystery man does the trick and finally gets a wicket here. Another twist in the tale in this contest.

Mohit Sharma to Ashutosh Sharma, SIX! Oh, what a cracking shot! Ashutosh Sharma is playing an absolute blinder as an Impact sub here. Slower back-of-the-hand ball outside off on a length, Ashutosh Sharma waits for it and drags it over deep mid-wicket for a maximum. He is making a real impact here.

Mohit Sharma to Shashank Singh, SIX! He clears the ropes and this just might be the game for Punjab! Short in length, and outside off, Shashank Singh shuffles across off a bit and stands tall before dragging it into the stands behind deep mid-wicket for a biggie. Last over remaining now and Punjab are just 7 runs away from a thrilling win.

Darshan Nalkande to Ashutosh Sharma, OUT! TAKEN! What a sea-saw of emotions here for the fans! Darshan Nalkande bowls a slower one on the back of a length, Ashutosh Sharma hits it uppishly with the bottom half of the hand and the ball dollies straight into the safe hands of Rashid Khan who is patrolling the long on boundary. He doesn't move an inch and takes an absolute sitter of a catch. Another twist in the story here. But what a scintillating knock from Ashutosh Sharma as he has provided a glimmer of hope for his team out of nowhere.

Darshan Nalkande to Shashank Singh, EDGED AND FOUR! SCORES LEVEL! Punjab will take it with open arms. On a shade fuller length attacking the stumps, Shashank Singh swings the bat wildly to flick it over the leg side, but it catches the leading edge that flies over short third for a boundary. What an absolute turnover this has been, courtesy of the two youngsters.
