Hardik Pandya	3	0	34	1	11.33	7	2	2	2	0
0.1 to Saim Ayub, Softest of dismissals. Ayub has spooned a square drive straight to point. A harmless length ball with a bit of room in the mid-120ks range. A bit spongy off the pitch, Ayub wanted to play it on top of the bounce but played a touch too early. Bread-basket catch lobbed straight to Bumrah at point. Effectively a golden duck for Ayub, who walks back dejected.. 1/1 See all photos
Jasprit Bumrah	4	0	28	2	7.00	15	2	2	0	1
1.2 to Mohammad Haris, Haris wants to take on Bumrah, perishes right away. Skies a pick-up shot and is caught at deep-backward square. Hardik had to run from fine leg. Was a skiddy 137ks length ball around fourth, Haris got slightly low and whooshed his bat around knee-roll height.. 6/2 18.6 to Sufiyan Muqeem, Bails sent flying. Sufiyan goes across, shows all the stumps and misses the paddle sweep. The 137ks low full toss clatters leg and middle. Sufiyan smiles in resignation, gets a pat on the back from Shaheen as he walks back. 111/9 See all photos
Varun Chakravarthy	4	0	24	1	6.00	10	1	1	0	0
17.4 to Faheem Ashraf, Varun is convinced that's lbw, given out. One more review. This also looked out but that's been deceptive a few times tonight. Another googly. Landed around middle and off, very full and beat the reverse sweep. Leg and middle stump were visible as the batter went across the line. Ball hit the left edge of the front knee-roll. Would've smashed middle and off, Hawk-Eye shows.. 97/8
Kuldeep Yadav	4	0	18	3	4.50	15	1	1	0	0
12.4 to Hasan Nawaz, Another wicket on the slog sweep. India keep pushing the foot down. Length ball was at the pads, so the shot was on. Nawaz tried to go over square leg and didn't hold back on the power. The bounce, though, had the ball slice off the edge. Axar went from first slip towards leg gully, cleared coast and took it nicely.. 64/5 12.5 to Mohammad Nawaz, Lbw given. Pakistan review. Line might be an issue here. 84ks googly on a short of length landed on off and skidded through. M Nawaz was pinned deep in the crease, didn't read the variation and was beaten on the punch towards mid-on. Hawk-Eye says line wouldn't be an issue, hitting leg! Two in two for Kuldeep, Pakistan crumbling quick now.. 64/6 16.1 to Sahibzada Farhan, Hardik runs to the left from long-on, takes it and side-tracks close to but within the ropes. Was a wide, loopy length ball. Farhan reached out and tried to slash it across the line, beyond his arc. Was too early on the shot too. His struggles have somewhat mirrored those of Pakistan so far this innings. 83/7 See all photos
Axar Patel	4	0	18	2	4.50	15	1	1	0	0
7.4 to Fakhar Zaman, That's a very high ball... Tilak comes in from long-on, settles and takes it nicely! Fakhar tried to make a play after two early dots, danced down and had a horizontal-bat swipe at a length ball. Axar firing it in at 94ks to rush him, finds the top edge. Tilak positioned himself nicely under the ring of fire.. 45/3 9.6 to Agha Salman, Top-edged sweep... taken at deep square leg. Always a risk trying to sweep Axar both because of his direction and the bounce he gets. Had to hit it off a length and against the turn, Agha went for it anyway and the ball got big on him. His 12-ball struggle ends. Axar pumps his fist as India strike on the verge of drinks. 49/4 See all photos

1.6 to Shubman Gill, goooone!. Gorgeous work from both Ayub in front of the stumps and Haris behind them. That's brave from the bowler to keep tossing it up, after leaking those boundaries. Gill thinks he has another hit-me ball but it dips on him. All of a sudden, he's having to reach out in front of him to make contact. He doesn't. The ball zips past his outside edge and the keeper does the rest. 22/1 3.4 to Abhishek Sharma, taken at long-off. The effort to get to the pitch of the ball doesn't come to fruition. Abhishek is left reaching in front of his body. He decides not to pull his punches even though he isn't in the position to keep throwing them. The loft comes out. It goes high rather than long, because of Ayub pulling his length back and creating distance between the ball and the bat-swing. Simple catch. 41/2 12.2 to NT Tilak Varma, off stump knocked back. Lots of grip. Lots of turn. And Varma is absolutely stunned. Bowling around the wicket, angling it on a good length on off stump, prompting the batter to close the face and look for runs on the on side only to beat him completely. 97/3 See all photos
