    3.1 bagged by mid-on running to the left. Thakur calm under it. Offcutter at a good length on middle stump, gets low and looks for the slog sweep again, but ends up slicing this 13/2
    2.6 taken at mid-off. Shahzad looked out of sorts in his short stay. This is good length and swung into his legs. He's static as he closes the face to try and flick in square leg's direction. Gets a leading edge that's pretty easy for Ashwin 13/1
    6.5 this looks a gorgeous shot but it is not far enough. Full and at off stump. Steps out and is right behind with a lovely extension of the arms, using the angle to pick this up in the wide long-on direction. But he hasn't reached the pitch of that and gets a lot of elevation and not too much distance. Pandya does well to track it to his right and hold on at the line 48/3
    9.3 big appeal and this looks plumb. Carrom ball, full and headed for middle stump. Naib gets down for the sweep and cops this on the back thigh, right in front of middle stump. He won't bother reviewing that. His struggle against spin is over 59/4
    11.5 gone, plays down the wrong line with the reverse-sweep. Plays for the offbreak, I think, but this one drifts in a little, pitches around off stump and just keeps going with the angle to end up sneaking behind him and rattling the stumps. Ashwin's really got the batters on a string today. Seemed to be the seam-up arm ball 69/5
    18.1 looks to bowl the wide line again, but he doesn't get it wide enough. Ends up working out for him in the end. Slower length ball, and Nabi is a touch too early on this hoick. Drags it a little squarer than he wants, I think, straight to the man at deep midwicket. Long boundary on that side too, I think 126/6

    18.3 slower length ball outside off, and he's slogged it more or less straight to long-on. Flat hit, and Hardik runs a few yards to his left and catches it in front of his chest 127/7
