He spears it on a fuller length, just around the off pole. Shreyas Iyer positions himself to sail it downtown, but does not get the bat properly under the ball. As a result, he mistimes it off the toe-end of the bat, as it twists a bit at the point of contact. It sails behind the bowler. Krunal Pandya from long on, charges to the left and locks his eyes on the ball. Eventually holds onto it and maintains the ball even while tumbling on the ground.

Krunal Pandya to Shreyas Iyer, This almost carried to Krunal Pandya. This appeared to have stuck on the surface and Shreyas Iyer, looking to roll this to long on ended up chipping this back to the bowler. Krunal grabs this on the bounce and Iyer stays in the middle. 

Krunal Pandya to Prabhsimran Singh, TWO WIDES! Singh pre-meditates with a reverse sweep on this one, but he plays his card early and Krunal Pandya is quick to change his line and fire this wide outside off. This is wide off the tramline and the keeper does well to deflect this to short third. Wide and a single.
