Sam Curran to Tilak Varma, 1 run, full and outside off stump, Tilak reaches out and slaps it to deep backward point

Sam Curran to Axar Patel, 1 run, outside off stump, pushed through cover-point

Sam Curran to Tilak Varma, 1 run, the leg-cutting slower ball. Jofra takes the catch but isn't sure. Sam Curran asks him if he's taken that clean. Archer got his hands under the ball, but had the fingers pretty wide. "Ball has burst through the hands and touched the ground," says the third ump. After that fielding effort, Archer asked the physio for some tape on the fingers. In fact Archer told the onfield ump to send it upstairs. Fair play! Slower delivery on the stumps, Tilak moved across and slogged. Timed it decently well. Archer ran in from deep backward square leg and put in a dive but just grassed it. Hang on, there's a discussion between the umps again. They want to check if the batters crossed. They did cross, but both didn't finish the run as they felt the catch was taken. Tilak infact went back to the crease on his way back to the dressing room. Because the batters crossed, Axar will face the next ball

Sam Curran to Ishan Kishan, out Caught by Liam Dawson!! This is too full, he's sliced this high and it's another catch close to extra-cover.

Sam Curran to Ishan Kishan, FOUR, shot! Full and wide outside off stump, Ishan Kishan reaches out and lofts it over cover to start the over well

Sam Curran to Shivam Dube, out Caught by Tom Banton!! That's a skier and taken at mid-off. Six singles in the last over and four dots, three singles and the wicket in this over. England have made a mega comeback. This is a slot ball that usually gets punished. Either the aging ball isn't coming on as expected or just that the batters aren't adapting. With pressure on him, Dube tries to break free. Gets it on the bottom of the bat and Banton, who's been there everywhere today, runs to the left from extra-cover and takes a fine catch again. Shivam Dube c Tom Banton b Sam Curran 5(7)

Sam Curran to Abhishek Sharma, out Caught by Tom Banton!! An expensive over from Curran ends with a wicket! He gets rid of Abhishek who had a mixed-bag kind of innings today. Either smashed it or was beaten, no in-between. Low full toss at the stumps, swings across the line, doesn't get hold of it and it's straight to Banton at deep midwicket.
