Agarwal, who faced five balls, scored a couple. Fourteen balls into the chase, he was caught by Virender Sehwag. Johnson broke the 13-run stand.

Although his innings included three boundaries, Dinesh Karthik had no reason to be in seventh heaven – he scored 13. Eighteen balls later, he was caught by Axar Patel. Awana broke the 31-run stand.
