Score23 - 2

T Boult to R Sharma, OUT! The skipper departs and Boult strikes again. Full on middle and leg, the ball comes back just a bit after pitching. Sharma tries to drive it straight but is taken aback by that little swing on it. He ends up chipping it straight back to the bowler. Boult does well to hold onto that one. A soft dismissal for the skipper and he looks disappointed with himself. Both the openers are now back into the hut, India in a spot of bother here.

T Boult to R Sharma, Back of a length deliver. It looked like it will come back in but goes away after pitching. Sharma tries to defend it but the away swing takes it away from him and the ball goes past his outside edge by juts a few inches. Real beauty that by Boult.

T Boult to S Dhawan, OUT! Boult draws first blood. Excellent set up by him and Dhawan walks back to the pavilion. Outswing, Outswing and then, he gets the third one to come back in sharply. Dhawan falls in the trap. It is full and around off, the ball jags back in quite a bit. Shikhar looks to flick it across by planting his front foot right across. He misses the ball and it hits his pad. The players go up in appeal and the umpire has no hesitation and raises the finger. Dhawan has a brief discussion with Sharma and then decides not to review. He could have as the ball did come back in a long way, maybe it would have just about clipped the leg pole. Hawk Eye is not shown as of now.
