SIX! Indrajith gets one in his arc and clears the ground. This went long and far over cow corner. That was a much-needed boundary for Trichy and 11 comes off that over.
OUT! Suresh Kumar goes for a duck. He tries to go for a big shot over long off but all he does is pick out Sai Kishore who takes a simple catch. Suresh Kumar c Sai Kishore b Malolan Rangarajan 0(2)
The attempt to save a boundary is proving to be costly for Kaushik Gandhi, who is receiving treatment. The entire Tuti team is around him and he eventually goes off the pitch for further treatment.
This was an innings of four quarters of five overs. The first five overs was relatively even as Tuti scored 41 but lost a wicket. The second quarter was dominated by the Trichy Warriors, who picked up two wickets and conceded just 27 runs. Overs 11-15 belonged to the Patriots, who made the most of a dropped catch off the first ball of the 11th over as they added 55 runs in that period without losing a wicket. The final quarter undoubtedly belonged to Trichy, who conceded just 34 runs and picked up four wickets.
Sonu Yadav has been exceptional today with his variations. The batsmen simply haven't been able to pick his slower ones and he has varied his length nicely as well. He finishes his spell with figures of 2/25
OUT! Malolan tries to go big but perishes as Suresh Kumar takes a brilliant catch running back from backward point. Malolan Rangarajan c Suresh Kumar b Sonu Yadav 3(4)
OUT! Suresh Kumar is the man with the golden arm once again. This time he gets rid of the well set Abishiek who tries to clear deep mid-wicket but cannot get all of it and only finds the fielder. Abishiek c MS Sanjay b Suresh Kumar 30(27)
OUT! Nidish goes for one six too many and all he can do is lob one into the hands of Indrajith at cover after smashing a six over long on off the previous ball. Nidish Rajagopal c Indrajith b Tamil Kumaran 41(26)
Sonu Yadav has been incredibly impressive with his variations. From the slower balls to the yorker, he has all the tricks and is showcasing them for the world to see. Eight off this over.
Some excellent fielding from Trichy in the last two balls. First a diving stop at long off to save a certain boundary, then a direct hit from the bowler. Although the latter ricochets off the stumps and Tuti sneak two runs off the overthrow, it shows the commitment the Warriors have after some dropped catches earlier.
Trichy are shelling catches like there is no tomorrow. And that is already proving to be costly. Instead of a wicket off the firstball of the 11th over, it goes for 11 runs, including a six off the last ball.
