WNischal b Rajneesh Gurbani
Rajneesh Gurbani to Nischal, out Bowled!! Oh dear, Indian batsmen and their woes against the seaming ball continues. It happened in the first Test against Sri Lanka at the Eden, and the same story continues today. Good length delivery outside off, seaming in sharply (must have landed in the 7'o'clock position) and crashing into the furniture. Nischal was trying a true wicket shot: a cover drive away from the body whilst trusting the bounce. You cannot do that unless you trust the bounce. And evidently, he really shouldn't be trusting the bounce of this pitch, with all the sharp seam movement. The batsmen are hopping around, and it seems to be a bowler's day in the sun.

Rajneesh Gurbani to Nischal, no run, back of a length on off and middle, Nischal defends it off a half-cocked stance right into the pitch. PLayed it late and right under his eyes, but he might not be able to react quick enough to the ones moving more significantly off the seam
