Score97 - 4

K Yadav to K Perera, OUT! Perera holes out! Kuldeep has the last laugh. Very smart bowling this from Kuldeep. He sees Perera coming down the track so he bowls it away from the off pole. Perera tries to fetch it away from his body but ends up hitting it off the upper half of his bat. It goes to the right of long on. Shikhar Dhawan there moves to that side and takes a very good catch. It almost pops out of his hand but he somehow manages to hold onto it.

S Thakur to K Perera, On the bounce! This shorter delivery is pulled fiercely towards deep mid-wicket for just a single. So despite the boundary, just the 7 from it.

Overs12.4
Score89 - 3

S Thakur to B Rajapaksa, FOUR! That is a nice shot! Rajapaksa is a good player of his pads and that was evident there. It is full and on the leg pole. BR flicks it over the mid-wicket fielder and it just about trickles into the ropes. The long on fielder did put in a valiant effort but it all goes in vain.

Score83 - 3

K Yadav to B Rajapaksa, Smart bowling this from Kuldeep. He is giving the ball a lot of air and that is troubling the batters here. It is just over the leg pole. Rajapaksa looks to paddle it but misses. Pant also fails to gather it. The ball hits his waist and goes to the leg side allowing them to steal a bye.

K Yadav to O Fernando, OUT! Stumped! The ploy to attack Kuldeep has failed here. Smart, smart bowling this from Kuldeep. He keeps his calm and gives this one a lot of air. Fernando comes down the track and looks to go over the top of the bowler. The ball just goes away with the angle. Oshada is too far down the track and Rishabh Pant does the easy job of disturbing the stumps. This will give Kuldeep a lot of confidence as he did not start the over well.

K Yadav to K Perera, SIX! Kuldeep comes and he is straightaway deposited into the stands! Not a welcome the left-arm leg spinner would have been looking for. Floated on leg, Perera comes down the track and smashes it over the mid-wicket fence for a massive six.

19:53 (IST) Jan 07

Kuldeep Yadav is into the attack for the first time tonight.
