6.6
Ashwin to Simmons, 1 run, driven with the spin to long-on
6.5
Ashwin to Simmons, no run, exceptional delivery. Yorker outside off, just inside the tramline though. Beautifully bowled, Simmons cannot get bat on it
6.5
Ashwin to Simmons, 1 no ball, taken this time. A very similar delivery to the boundary ball, but Simmons goes after it again. A thick outside edge carries to short third man and Bumrah takes a stunner, diving low to his right. But has Ashwin overstepped? Uh oh, he has. Add salt to the wound, it is a free hit and that blaring noise to signal it too.
6.4
Ashwin to Simmons, no run, slowed up nicely on off, Simmons blocks
6.3
Ashwin to Simmons, no run, a bit of turn. Quicker through the air outside off, turns into Simmons on middle who pats it back to the bowler
6.2
Ashwin to Simmons, FOUR, beats short third man and that is four all day, and night. Short and wide, Simmons flays a cut and finds the gap between point and short third man
6.1
Ashwin to Charles, 1 run, not much flight to start, a shortish length but close enough to off. Forehanded down to long-on
 

Not a terrible Powerplay in terms of runs for either side, interestingly. India ahead on wickets. R Ashwin brought in
