Ryder heaves Shami on the leg side but has not timed it well and it falls on the leg side before carrying to the midwicket fence for a four.
But the pacer gets his revenge from the next ball as Ryder edges it to wicketkeeper Dhoni trying to play the upper cut to be dismissed after a quick 20 from 11 balls. That was quick at 143kph and a bit of extra bounce too which caused Ryder's downfall and cut short another promising innings from the attacking left-hander.

Ryder looking very dangerous right from the start. He drives the first ball of Shami's second through the covers for a couple before cracking the next two deliveries square through the off-side for back to back boundaries.
Shami guilty of giving too much outside the off-stump before he bowls a quick bouncer which the left-hander ducks under.
The next ball is again short which Ryder lets go but it is called a wide for height. He takes a single from the fifth delivery to the leg side before Guptill offers no shot to the last ball.
