Jadeja gets the ball to turn big to beat Young on the outside edge before he defends the next ball followed by a leave.

Young misses the sweep before he is beaten on the outside edge next ball before he keeps out the last ball with caution.

Ashwin continues as Young lap sweeps the spinner fine on the leg side for two runs. He looks to glance the next ball fine but this time Pant gets his gloves on it but can't hold on to the ball.

Pant's struggles behind the wickets continue. Maybe this was a chance but the wicketkeeper was unable to hold as he flaps at the ball with the gloves.

Young takes a single before Sodhi plays a nice drive through the covers for a four.

Jadeja continues as Young picks a single off the first ball and Sodhi punches the third ball off the backfoot to long-off for one.

Young well forward to block the flighted delivery before the next ball turns away to go past the outside edge. 

He sweeps the next ball quite hard in front of square for a boundary.
