W
Tushar Deshpande to Sai Sudharsan, out Caught by Samson!! Oh edged and that's a very good catch from Sanju. Tushar Deshpande goes for the yorker that he can bowl so well. Sai swings hard and gets an inside edge as he lost shape. Ball was travelling but Sanju dived full length to his right and low to pouch that with both hands. Sai walked without waiting for the umpire. Gets a good ovation for his wonderful innings. Sai Sudharsan c Samson b Tushar Deshpande 82(53) [4s-8 6s-3]
18.1
Tushar Deshpande to Sai Sudharsan, no run, pace off and angling away, Sai slogs and misses
17.6
Jofra Archer to Sai Sudharsan, 1 run, Shubham Dubey the impact sub has dropped a sitter. Sanju looks down in frustration. Archer looks away! Was a smart short ball with pace off, Sai managed to belt that pull though. Hit it so hard and flat, went straight to deep backward square leg who wasn't alert enough. Gee, it didn't even hit his palms. Hit him near the right wrist
17.3
Jofra Archer to Sai Sudharsan, 1 run, pace off short ball, Sai swings and gets a top edge, doesn't have the legs to carry to fine leg

Sandeep Sharma to Sai Sudharsan, 1 run, yorker around off stump, Sai swings and gets an inside edge that rolls to short fine leg
16.4

Sandeep Sharma to Sai Sudharsan, FOUR, it's back to back boundaries off Sandeep now after he's kept it so quiet. Again the wide line theory, Sai was ready for it. This time was a bit easier as it wasn't that wide and he nailed the lofted drive over cover
16.3
6
Sandeep Sharma to Sai Sudharsan, SIX, hey youuu! That's unbelievable. How did he hit that for six? This is wide of off again, it's length and Sai opened his wrists and sliced it so hard. It looked like sweeper was going to swallow that but even a jump couldn't make that possible. Such was the power and timing behind the shot
15.4
Theekshana to Sai Sudharsan, 2 wides, great save from Samson again! Another leg-side yorker, Samson dives and saves the boundary down leg
15.3
Theekshana to Sai Sudharsan, 2 runs, another yorker. Smashed down the ground. Riyan cuts it off with a fast roll at long-off
15.2
Theekshana to Sai Sudharsan, 2 wides, oh almost outsmarted him there but this is a very, very tough chance for Samson. Firstly Theekshana yorked Sai with a leg-side ball as the batter advanced. The batter would have obviously blinded the keeper and Samson did well to get his hand on it. You can't expect thosd to be stumped. And Sai nearly ran himself out at the non-striker's end as they try to steal an extra run. Sandeep has a shy from short fine leg but misses
15.1

He put in the dive but was still short as the ball passed the stumps
9.4
F
Theekshana to Sai Sudharsan, 1 run, third fifty for the season. Just a raise of the bat and punch of gloves with Buttler. He struggled against Archer but saw that phase through and has cashed in. He reaches the landmark with a nudge into the leg-side

Tushar Deshpande to Sai Sudharsan, FOUR, expensive over, 18 runs. Deshpande releases all the pressure that was built by Archer. He attempts a slower ball and offers width, Sudharsan delays his square drive and cracks it through point. There was a sweeper but he had no chance of stopping that

4.2
6

0.5
Jofra Archer to Sai Sudharsan, no run, half an appeal for LBW. Samson has a word with Archer and the latter says no to the review. He knew it was high. Nips away from the left hander and Sudharsan is once again opened up, gets beaten on the outside edge and is struck on the back leg. The impact was around the thigh and Archer knew the bounce would take it over the stumps
