Just 8 runs from the over, but PBKS will take it after that shaky start. Shreyas Iyer is settling in at 15 off 15, holding the innings together, while Prabhsimran Singh matches him with 15 off 12, finding a couple of boundaries to ease pressure. GT keeping it tight overall, but PBKS slowly rebuilding.
PBKS 35/2 (5)
Siraj breathes fire early. What a start from him. He rips through the top order, removing Priyansh Arya with a sharp short ball that’s brilliantly caught by Nishant Sindhu in the deep, and then gets Cooper Connolly first ball with a peach that nips in and takes the inside edge through to Buttler. Two wickets in three balls and PBKS are rocked early. Shreyas Iyer gets off the mark with a crisp boundary, but this is a dream opening over for GT.
Arya takes strike as Siraj steams in with the new ball. Prabhsimran waits at the other end, early swing on offer, testing start for PBKS
