Bowled into the surface but pace taken off, outside off. Varma gets on top of it and pulls it to deep square leg for one. A good couple of overs since the end of the Powerplay for the Dutch, 9 runs off the last 12 balls. 17 balls since the last boundary.

DROPPED! Michael Levitt shells it. A lifeline for the Indian skipper. Logan van Beek bangs it in short, on off, Suryakumar hangs deep in the crease and swings across for the pull. It is skied to deep square leg and SKY had given up as the ball went in the air and towards the longer part of the ground. Michael Levitt settles under the skier. He first tried to take it reverse cup before switching to take the catch with his fingers pointing downwards. At the very end, he also takes half a step away from the ball and he has to reach out a bit in front. Eventually, Levitt fails to cling on and the ball drops to the ground.

Full and on off, driven to long off for a single.

The 30-run stand has been broken now.

On a back of a length, pace off, outside off, Suryakumar Yadav glides it behind point for a single.
