Rashid Khan to Pooran, out Caught by Shahrukh Khan!! That is a mishit and SRK takes it. Simple chance. Rashid Khan goes into the wicket and wide, Pooran looks to smash it for six again, this time it only comes off the bottom of the bat and goes straight to long-on. He's not happy that he's been dismissed. Wanted to finish the game, but what an innings and what entertaning. Pooran c Shahrukh Khan b Rashid Khan 61(34) [4s-1 6s-7]

Sai Kishore to Pooran, 1 run, in the airrrr, just short of the rushing SRK at long-on. Short and into the wicket, Pooran mistimes the pull to the left of long-on. Sai applauds from effort from the fielder to put the body behind the line and attack for the catch
Sai Kishore to Pooran, SIX, and the first ball is dismissed! Sai stayed over the wicket and the idea was to bowl wide of off, seemed like it wasn't the normal offie that he bowls but it sat up for Pooran to take a nice look and belt the pull over mid-wicket
