M Mortaza to A Rayudu, OUT! Caught behind! Terrific delivery by Mortaza. He has dismissed Rayudu cheaply. A length ball angling into the batsman from around off, Ambati tries to play at it with a straight bat but it catches the outside edge of his bat. Loops behind and Rahim grabs it with ease. Two down now, India. 177 runs needed in 255 balls. Game on. The Indian middle order has not impressed much of late. Add to it the pressure of the final and it becomes an even bigger task.
