WPhilander b Ashwin
Ashwin to Philander, out Bowled!! Cracker to bring up his fifer! A lovely off break that was tossed up outside off, above the batsman's eyeline and Philander couldn't resist the drive. Dipped on him and turned sharply to sneak through, to disturb the timber. He's been on a roll in recent overs and deservingly gets his fifth scalp. 27th fifer in Tests for the champion off-spinner. It's also his first since August 2017, that's a long gap but India were also on their overseas cycle in 2018 where their pacers did the bulk of the work. Philander b Ashwin 0(10)

113.1
Ashwin to Philander, no run, spins in sharply from around leg stump, nudged with the turn to square leg
112.6
Jadeja to Senuran Muthusamy, no run, quicker and sliding in on middle and off, blocked out towards cover
111.5
Ashwin to Philander, no run, shortens the length a bit outside off, Philander stays back and defends it to cover

Ashwin to Philander, no run, turns in sharply from around leg stump, Philander nudges it with the spin to square leg
111.3
Ashwin to Senuran Muthusamy, 3 runs, awkward fall for Ishant! Landed bizarrely at point, also allowing the ball through and Jadeja had to chase it down eventually. Let's hope the big man is fine, didn't make for good viewing. Was a fuller ball from Ashwin, Muthusamy sliced the drive towards the off-side and it should have been a single at the most
110.5
Jadeja to Philander, no run, fuller and around off, Philander leans forward and blocks it to cover. Deflected off Vihari at silly point
110.4
Jadeja to Senuran Muthusamy, 1 run, fuller and flatter, patted to mid-on for a single
109.5
Ashwin to Philander, no run, flatter and outside off, Philander stays back and defends it well
109.4
Ashwin to Philander, no run, beats the outside edge! Tough one for Philander to handle straight up, drifting into him and then straighening a fraction. He poked at it, only to be beaten
