Matthew Humphreys to Tilak Varma, out Caught by Ross Adair!! Half the side back in the hut. India in trouble? Tilak Varma shapes up to play the reverse sweep, but the length was short and he was forced to drag it from middle and leg stump. Off the thick inside half and picks out the man at backward point.

Liam McCarthy to Tilak Varma, no run, slower length delivery wide of off, Tilak cuts to backward point and calls for a quick single.
