Defending 185, Shreyas Iyer once again decided to hand the ball to Ashwin in the powerplay and it took the off-spinner just three balls to strike. Jos Buttler, who was looking in great touch, in an attempt to smash the ball hard on the on-side, only managed to get an under-edge as Shikhar Dhawan claimed a blinder of a catch at deep square-leg.

Buttler’s dismissal brought Steven Smith to the crease.
