Jaiswal is keen to dominate against Lyon but the experienced spinner is up to the task. The left-hander is beaten as he tries to play the cut shot before hitting the next to deep point for a single.

Pant punches the third ball in the gap on the off-side for one and Jaiswal safely keeps out the last three balls.
