Starc to Nitish Kumar Reddy, no run, in the channel outside off, back of a length, left alone

sathish: "When Konstas played the risky attacking game, Aus had 10 wickets in hand. With the run rate still healthy, the shot was a risky one from Pant."

Starc to Nitish Kumar Reddy, no run, beaten! Good one. Angled in at off stump, Nitish plays and it scoots past the edge

Patrick: "To be critical of Pant, he was likely better off charging Boland. Field was set for the ramp and both he and England have had success charging Boland"

Lyon to Nitish Kumar Reddy, FOUR, full at leg stump, driven sweetly straight of mid-off and beats the dive

Karthik: "I'll discuss with context. Konstas had like 30 balls he could easily have been out to. Pant played his natural game and got out." The line between success and failure. Will be a regular topic in the modern game

Boland to Pant, OUT, taken at deep third! Extraordinary dismissal. Boland came round the wicket, it's full outside off, Pant goes across and attempts to scoop to fine leg. Gets a huge leading edge and Lyon snaffles it. Discuss.

Boland to Pant, no run, short of a length, goes across the stumps and attempts a pull, edges it into himself and ends up flat on his back in the crease

And now Pant backs away at the last moment. Dead ball called. Joel Wilson now chats with Pant. Boland not overly impressed this time. Was very late from Pant

Boland to Pant, 2 runs, over the wicket, back of a length around off stump, takes a thick outside edge through point

Deva: "Even when you are not getting wickets, applying pressure like Boland will get you a wicket from somewhere."

Lyon to Jadeja, no run, huge appeal for lbw! Skids on and traps Jadeja on the back foot. Only one review left and they decline. Perhaps leg side. Didn't straighten. Umpire's call on clipping leg.

Lyon to Jadeja, no run, was that nearly a chance? Very full, Jadeja aims to whip it away, did it come flush off the boot towards silly point? Yes it did. Fell short of Head

Short leg comes to silly point

Lyon to Pant, 1 run, short again, rocks back and pulls into midwicket

Lyon to Pant, 2 runs, round the wicket, short of a length, whipped through midwicket

Indeed it is time for spin. Here's Lyon. Will he lock in until the new ball? Should it get that far. Slip and a short leg. This could be fun against Pant
