15.6
Theekshana to Rutherford, 1 run, oh he wanted a slog over square leg now! Fullish and down leg, Rutherford went really hard, ball seemed to have gone off the leg, no off the bat in fact
15.5

Theekshana to Rutherford, SIX, oh ho ho! Sherfane Rutherford you beast! Theekshana just missed the yorker, Rutherford got under that and absolutely smashed it high over long-on. First ball and he left nothing in the tank

Theekshana to Shahrukh Khan, out Stumped!! Well bowled and well kept. SRK stepping out to muscle the ball. Theekshana smartly fired this wide of off stump, SRK had nowhere to hide and this time Samson wasn't blinded. Had his eyes on the ball, stayed low and calmly collected to effect an easy stumping. Deserved wicket for Theekshana but SRK can be proud of what he's done. He's ensured GT didn't get bogged down. Shahrukh Khan st Samson b Theekshana 36(20) [4s-4 6s-2]

Theekshana to Shahrukh Khan, 1 run, gun yorker, SRK works it to deep mid-wicket
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

Theekshana to Sai Sudharsan, FOUR, slot, thank you very much says Sai and lofts the drive hard over cover off the front foot
13.6
Theekshana to Shahrukh Khan, no run, lovely ball from Theekshana though. A proper yorker but stunned SRK. He swung and missed, ball sneaked under the bat and went to the keeper. The batter was overbalancing. Even Samson was done in by that ball and he couldn't collect. Ball hit the pad and disturbed the stumps but SRK just had his back foot grounded to escape the stumps
13.5
4
Theekshana to Shahrukh Khan, FOUR, ah this is class batting! He knew Theekshana was going to hide it wide of off, he was ready with an open bat face and reached out with the long levers of his to slice this past backward point
13.4
4
Theekshana to Shahrukh Khan, FOUR, it's an edge this time but it's in the gap! Full and outside off stump, SRK throws his bat at it as he has the licence. Thick edge makes backward point and short third man mere spectators
13.3
6
Theekshana to Shahrukh Khan, SIX, he's belted that out of sight! The boundary size hardly matters for this big hitter. Hit me short ball, SRK was quick to rock back and muscle this pull high and handsome way over mid-wicket
13.2
Theekshana to Sai Sudharsan, 1 run, bit of width, Sai mistimes the slap to long-off
13.1

W
Theekshana to Buttler, out Lbw!! Theekshana is pumped. He has broken this partnership. This looked real close to the naked eye but the onfield umpire was not convinced. Buttler misjudges the length here. He thinks it is short and goes for the pull, but good length ball skids across and strikes him on the back leg, the impact was in front of middle and leg, ball-tracking showed it to be smashing into leg-stump. Buttler lbw b Theekshana 36(25) [4s-5]
9.5
Theekshana to Buttler, no run, low full toss around off, Buttler drives it to the left of Theekshana and he sticks his hand out to make the stop
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
