Vyshak V to Somanna, out K Hoysala Run Out!! 1 run completed. Desperation from K Hoysala on the last ball but he was never going to make it. Last ball of the innings, so it's alright. Was another good yorker that was squeezed down to long-off. They had to try for the second run but Suchith's throw is flat and Kumar does the rest. K Hoysala wasn't even in the frame despite the dive. K Hoysala run out (J Suchith/Vyshak V) 0(0)

Vyshak V to Kishore Kamat, out Caught by (sub)Siddharth!! Kumar has his third. A golden duck for Kamat who had to go hard with no time left. Does not connect the slog well and skews it towards wide long-on where Siddharth does well to take a diving catch. Superb stuff. Only good thing for the Lions is that Somanna will be on strike now. Kishore Kamat c (sub)Siddharth b Vyshak V 0(1)

Vyshak V to Somanna, FOUR, Somanna is on fire! This could potentially be a match-changing innings. The fuller one from Kumar but Somanna was prepared for it, makes room to biff it over the covers. Placed well and sweeper had no chance

Vyshak V to Somanna, SIX, that's on the roof! What a blow from Somanna! Reacted to the short ball well and picked the length early, swivelled to smash the pull over deep backward square leg. Cracker!

Kushaal Wadhwani to Mithun, out Stumped!! Wadhwani has the last laugh. Fired it very full on seeing Mithun giving the charge. The batter doesn't connect and it's an easy stumping for Sharath who did fumble initially but had enough time as Mithun was way down the track. Only 5 off the over, top stuff! Mithun st Sharath b Kushaal Wadhwani 4(4) [4s-1]

Kushaal Wadhwani to Mithun, FOUR, Mithun connects this time! Not off the middle though but he won't mind it. Was the skiddy half-tracker and he went for the hoick. Gets a thick edge that beats short third man comfortably

Kushaal Wadhwani to Prithvi Shekawat, out Caught by Amit Verma!! Good catch from Verma at long-off, showing some of his mates how it's done. Was flighted nicely outside off, Shekawat went for the slog sweep and skewed it high to long-off. Wasn't a straightforward chance but Verma made it seem so by doing the basics right. Prithvi Shekawat c Amit Verma b Kushaal Wadhwani 1(4)

Vyshak V to Somanna, SIX, that's hugeeeeee!! What a gem this is turning out to be from Somanna. Slower ball again, wider outside off and it's flat-batted straight down the ground. Plenty of height and has the distance too. Some momentum for the Lions now
17.4
4
Vyshak V to Somanna, FOUR, better stroke! Have to say that Somanna has impressed with his placement. Another fuller ball, slower one again, predictable for Somanna who chips it inside out over extra cover. Bisects long-off and sweeper cover to precision
17.3
4
Vyshak V to Somanna, FOUR, sloppy fielding! The Lions continue to underachieve in the field. This was lofted over the covers by Somanna who picked the slower ball early. Kishan, the sub, at sweeper cover got around well and then slipped to let it past him

J Suchith to Jonathan R, out Caught by (sub)Kishan S Bedare!! Smart bowling from Suchith. Saw Jonathan shuffling around the stumps and slowed it down considerably. The result was a mistimed slog sweep that went high to deep mid-wicket where the substitute took his second catch of the night. Jonathan R c (sub)Kishan S Bedare b J Suchith 29(26) [4s-3 6s-1]

J Suchith to Jonathan R, SIX, in the air for an eternity but it's cleared the ropes as well. Jonathan charged down the track and though this was fired well wide outside off, he didn't back off from the stroke. Went through with the loft and hit it dead straight. Clears lonh-off with ease
15.4
Amit Verma to Jonathan R, 2 runs, a dolly dropped! Warriors' catching has been poor tonight. This is a massive one because we know how dangerous Jonathan can be. Was the slog sweep and skied it high to long-on where Bharath made a meal of it

Bhareth NP to Somanna, FOUR, excellent stroke! Artistic stuff from Somanna, he knew that there was a long-off in place and just chipped it wide of that fielder. Didn't try to overhit it, just placed it in the gap. Top shot
12.5

Bhareth NP to Jonathan R, FOUR, lucky runs but Jonathan and the Lions won't mind it. Full and around off, a thick inside edge resulted that just missed the leg stump and beat the keeper to his left en route to the fence

Bhareth NP to Jonathan R, FOUR, short and wide, Jonathan sits back and cuts it away through backward point. Finds the gap to perfection

Bhareth NP to Aniruddha Joshi, out Caught by (sub)Kishan S Bedare!! That's the end of Joshi. He'll be massively disappointed. The Lions sink further. Short ball and he is late on the pull, skies it high to mid-wicket where the dolly is taken. Bhareth is thrilled to bits. He knows it's a massive wicket. Aniruddha Joshi c (sub)Kishan S Bedare b Bhareth NP 5(5) [4s-1]

Bhareth NP to Aniruddha Joshi, FOUR, super shot! Too short and lot of width outside off as well, Joshi hangs back and cuts it away through backward point. No chance for third man

J Suchith to Jonathan R, FOUR, off the edge! Races away to the fence though. Nice loop and turns away from Rongsen who looks to drive with hard hands. The edge flies well wide of slip and speeds away

J Suchith to Jonathan R, out Sharath BR Run Out!! Another crazy run out! The Lions are making a habit of this tonight. Another huge blow as Sharath BR departs. This was played into the off-side and Sharath BR wanted the single badly. Never a single there and the confusion made it worse. No chance for him to get back and is not even in the frame as the throw is perfect at the bowler's end. Sharath BR run out (Bhareth NP/J Suchith) 46(33) [4s-7 6s-1]

Amit Verma to Nishant Shekhawat, out Caught by Vyshak V!! Verma strikes! Brave of him to keep tossing them up despite going for a six early in this over. Shekhawat charged down the track for the big hit and didn't pick the googly, skewed it flat to long-off where Vyshak took a sharp tumbling catch. Judged it nicely. Nishant Shekhawat c Vyshak V b Amit Verma 3(8)

Amit Verma to Sharath BR, SIX, what a hit! That's gone all the way! Flighted up, inviting Sharath to go for the big shot and he obliges. Swings merrily over long-on. Got it wide of the fielder near the fence
8.3
Bhareth NP to Sharath BR, 1 run, did that carry? Seems like a half-chance and it's gone down at long-on. Sharath survives, went for the hoick and mistimed it to the deep where the fielder couldn't get to it in time. A single results
6.4
W
Bhareth NP to Rohit K, out Rohit K Run Out!! Absolute mayhem! Was nudged softly towards the mid-on region and a single was always going to be risky. Rohit was hesitant as well and that cost him. He had to eventually go through with the single and Manager at mid-on collected the ball before racing towards the stumps to whip off the bails. Rohit was way short, had given up actually. Rohit K run out (Shoaib Manager) 8(9) [4s-1]

Kushaal Wadhwani to Sharath BR, FOUR, uppish but just over the infield! Was on the slider and Sharath couldn't keep the cut down. Went hard at it and ended up slicing it between short third man and backward point

Kushaal Wadhwani to Sharath BR, FOUR, Sharath continues his merry ways. Premeditates the sweep with a shuffle across and nails it over backward square leg. Clears the infield with ease

Prateek Jain to Rohit K, FOUR, edged but just short of slip! Beats the fielder as well and races away fine to the third man fence. Jain is unlucky, got this to straighten a bit off the pitch as Rohit pushed inside the line. He played with soft hands and that saved him
3.4
W
Vyshak V to Nihal Ullal, out Caught by Bhatkal!! Got him! Kumar has his revenge and boy, isn't he pumped up or what! Lets out a roar. Was another prodigious away curler, seamed off the pitch from a shortish length as Ullal poked at it. Thick edge and Bhatkal at slip timed his leap to perfection to gobble it up. So, the drop doesn't cost the Warriors much. Nihal Ullal c Bhatkal b Vyshak V 6(10) [6s-1]

Vyshak V to Nihal Ullal, SIX, connects this time! Some relief for Ullal, gets off the mark with a six. Full again and this time it was in the arc for him to swing through the line. Sends it high over long-on
3.1
Vyshak V to Nihal Ullal, no run, dropped! Was a dolly and Hoysala spills it at cover. Was a pitched up delivery and Ullal didn't keep the drive down. Lucky in the end to survive. Kumar isn't amused at all

Prateek Jain to Sharath BR, FOUR, no stopping Sharath! Boy, he is in the mood tonight. Another half-tracker, skids on nicely for him as he essays a short arm jab behind square on the leg-side
2.2
4
Prateek Jain to Sharath BR, FOUR, another blazing hit to the fence! Seems like a superb deck to bat on, this one. Not all that short but there was a lot of width outside off, Sharath stands tall and slams the cut through point. Went like a rocket to the ropes
2.1
4
Prateek Jain to Sharath BR, FOUR, bang! Sharath has come out with terrific intent. This was fractionally short and he didn't bother pulling this off the front foot. A nonchalant slap over mid-wicket
0.3

J Suchith to Sharath BR, FOUR, cracking shot! This time in front of square on the off-side but the result is the same. Another half-tracker from Suchith, no turn as yet and makes it easy for Sharath to cut it away

J Suchith to Sharath BR, FOUR, first runs of the night and it's a boundary to begin. A half-tracker with width, Sharath sits back and cuts it behind point. Placed it well and reaped the rewards
