William ORourke to Rahul Tewatia, out Caught by Himmat Singh!! In the airrr and straight to long-on. Tewatia a bit early into the shot. Wristed the lofted shot as a result and it went straight to the fielder. Tewatia tells himself he should have played straighter or a bit late. Length ball, there to be hit. Tewatia tried to hit on the rise but didn't control the shot. This is getting tough now for GT. Rahul Tewatia c Himmat Singh b William ORourke 2(3)

William ORourke to Rutherford, out Caught by (sub)Ravi Bishnoi!! This isn't timed well and Bishnoi is such a good outfielder. Made this sliding catch look simple. On the pads with some pace off, Rutherford swings to the on-side. Didn't get it off the middle of the bat. Deep mid-wicket ran in and controlled that catch so well. Very good hand from Rutherford ends. Rutherford c (sub)Ravi Bishnoi b William ORourke 38(22) [4s-1 6s-3]
