MS Sanjay to V Aaditya, out Caught by M Poiyamozhi!! And Aaditya, in a quest to up his strike-rate, steps out and looks to inside-out it over extra cover. But he doesn't quite get under the length, ending up slapping it a lot straighter to find long-off by the fence. V Aaditya c M Poiyamozhi b MS Sanjay 26(34) [4s-2]

Atheeq Ur Rahman to V Aaditya, out Balchander Anirudh Run Out!! Just the lucky break Trichy needed. Aaditya steps out and hammers it back down the pitch, so straight that it flicks the diving bowler's fingers and knocks the non-striker's stumps down. Anirudh, meanwhile, was backing up a little too far outside his crease to be able to come back in. Balchander Anirudh run out (Atheeq Ur Rahman) 34(26) [4s-2 6s-2]
