Smit to Ishan Kishan, FOUR, fifty for Ishan. He started slowly but has picked up pace. Really layed into Smit in this over. 6, 6, 6, 6, 4! Short and banged into the surface, the angle was taking it down leg, Ishan swivels around and pulls it behind square on the leg-side, he then raises his bat and acknowledges the applause. He missed out in the first game but has come to the party today. That will be drinks..

Smit to Ishan Kishan, SIX, just over. 6, 6, 6, 6! Ishan ensuring India finish the powerplay strongly. Short of length delivery and at Smit's pace, the ball sits up nicely for Ishan, he transfers his weight back quickly and pulls to deep square leg. Frylinck thought he was in with a chance but the ball evades him and drops beyond the rope

Smit to Ishan Kishan, no run, he knew straightaway. That's the reason he didn't bother to discuss with Tilak. Ishan crouched low and attempted a heave across the line, gets it off the toe-end onto the pad. Umpire Reiffel didn't spot it and was quick to raise his finger, but he's made to change his decision
