Shardul Thakur to Jofra Archer, out Caught by Tilak Varma!! The slower ball is doing wonders for Shardul - Archer falls after a handy innings - was the slower short ball outside off, rolled his wrists and bowled into the pitch, made Archer reach out on the forehand slap, he gets enough height, but there's no distance and Tilak Varma completes the catch after running to his left at long-on.

The wickets keep falling - the slower ball doing the trick, Shardul rolled his fingers across the seam and pushed it across the left-hander - Dubey was committed onto the slog, the ball caught the toe-end and lobbed up over mid-wicket. Naman ran in a fair way from the deep and completes the catch. As Shubham walked away, Kumar Sangakkara has a chat with the 4th umpire and asks him to stay - Shardul's towel fell behind him as he completed the bowling stride and they check if it put off the batter. It hadn't and Shubham Dubey keeps walking back. Shubham Dubey c Naman Dhir b Shardul Thakur 5(6)
