Sanju Samson c Jacob Bethell b Sam Curran
Sam Curran to Sanju Samson, out Caught by Jacob Bethell!! The basics from Curran. First ball, hits a good length, angles it across off stump and Samson slices it off the outside half to cover-point. Not sure what he was trying to do there. Looked like a half-hearted drive. Maybe was trying to open the face to carve it over cover, but got it off the outside half.

3.64
Will Jacks to Sanju Samson, FOUR, over the wicket now, bowls it too full and Samson hammers it over the top of mid-off. Don't think he's got it clean off the middle, it lands just short of the ropes
3.5

2.2
Jofra Archer to Sanju Samson, 1 run, full on the pads, flicked through square leg
1.66
Josh Tongue to Sanju Samson, SIX, another cracking pull shot! That's how you deal with the short ball! He dispatched England when they bowled short to him at the Wankhede and he's doing the same over here. A long way over square leg
1.5
Josh Tongue to Sanju Samson, no run, angled in on leg, back of a length, he tries clipping it away but gets hit on the thigh pad

Josh Tongue to Sanju Samson, no run, hard length delivery angled in from wide of the crease, Samson tries dabbing late and nearly chops it onto off stump
1.36
Josh Tongue to Sanju Samson, SIX, he doesn't mind it there! Short at the body, Samson swivels across and pulls it crisply over the square leg boundary
0.64
Jofra Archer to Sanju Samson, FOUR, edged and four! Squared up in defence as this straightens on off stump, gets a healthy edge that races away past the keeper. Third man is in the ring too!
0.4
Jofra Archer to Sanju Samson, 1 run, off the glove perhaps? Back of a length, he tries dabbing it late and the extra bounce means that it raps him on the glove
0.34
Jofra Archer to Sanju Samson, FOUR, Archer goes fuller and gets belted down the ground! It's driven in the air, Brook leaps across to his right at mid-off but doesn't get there
0.2
Jofra Archer to Sanju Samson, no run, flat-batted down the pitch this time, no timing
0.1
Jofra Archer to Sanju Samson, no run, and immediately the bounce getting the better of Samson. Short of length outside off, some width on offer, Samson throws his bat at it but misses
