S Sharma to P Shaw, Slightly short from Sandeep and Shaw uses his wrists to work it square on to the leg side for a single.
S Sharma to P Shaw, FOUR! Don't bother running! Nobody moved a muscle, that was hit with tremendous power! Short of a length ball on off, Shaw slashed hard past backward point fielder for a boundary.
S Sharma to P Shaw, Wide! Slower ball, slanting down leg. Shaw was looking to glance it, can't connect. That's a wide.

S Sharma to P Shaw, OUT! No, he wasn't quick enough! How unlucky is that? Maxwell will feel robbed! Full pitch delivery on off, Shaw smashes it back to the bowler, who bends down to that one and gets a hand to it. The ball ricochets on to the stumps and they all go up in a big appeal. The umpire refers it upstairs and the replays show that the Aussie was backing up too much and can't get his bat back in time. An unfortunate dismissal for Maxwell and the move to open with him has not worked for Delhi.
Appeal for run out! Maxwell is the man in question, was he quick enough to get back?
S Sharma to P Shaw, SIX! SHOT!! Just amazing, it was a delightful stroke from Shaw! Length ball on off, nothing wrong with the delivery. Just a beautiful swing of the bat and the ball sails over the long on fence for half a dozen.
