K Pandya to L Rahul, Dropped! Difficult chance though. Highly difficult, that's a great effort. Short and wide outside off, Rahul cuts this aerially towards Cutting at cover-point. He leaps to his right and gets a hand on it, but fails to hold on. Was a little too high. Single taken.

H Pandya to A Finch, SIX! That's outta here! This is what he can do. Maybe tonight he finally comes to the party. Full and in his arc, Finch plants his front foot forward, gives it the full swing of his bat and launches it deep into the wide long on stands. 12 off the over.

Score34 - 1

M McClenaghan to C Gayle, OUT! Gayle's gone! McClenaghan strikes just at the right time. Gayle was looking dangerous and was cutting loose, this is a big blow for Punjab. Short ball, fast in pace and it climbs on the batsman quickly. He looks to pull but gets a big top edge in the mid-wicket area. Cutting out in the deep moves to his right and takes a well-judged catch.
