- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR16.5 Jack gets Jaiswal! Great moment for the teenager, on his first-class debut. It's an ugly dismissal, trying to swipe a length ball from outside off over the leg side for six, off-balance, and all he can manage is a thin edge through to Rew 51/25.5 struck on the knee roll, and Easwaran falls! Fullish inswinger from Hull, which the India A captain looks to work towards mid-on. He's trapped on the front pad, and up goes the finger 12/155.6 strangled! Hull is around the wicket, wide on the crease, and drags a back-of-length ball down the leg side. Sarfaraz chases after it on the pull, and nicks it through to Rew, who dives low to his left to take a good catch 232/3Extras30 (b 8, lb 19, nb 2, w 1)TOTAL557 all out (125.1 Overs, RR: 4.45)Fall of wickets: 1-12 (Abhimanyu Easwaran, 5.5 ov), 2-51 (Yashasvi Jaiswal, 16.5 ov), 3-232 (Sarfaraz Khan, 55.6 ov), 4-427 (Dhruv Jurel, 94.6 ov), 5-445 (Nitish Kumar Reddy, 100.2 ov), 6-479 (Karun Nair, 105.4 ov), 7-494 (Shardul Thakur, 109.5 ov), 8-533 (Harsh Dubey, 119.3 ov), 9-557 (Anshul Kamboj, 124.3 ov), 10-557 (Harshit Rana, 125.1 ov)
