Ashwin, Sundar keep India afloat

November 03, 2024 12:52

India Inns 2: 120-7 (28 ovs); Target to win: 147 | Scorecard

Risky from Ashwin as he looks to steer Ajaz but the extra bounce takes the edge. The ball clears the slip fielder and Matt Henry at short thirdman fails to stop the ball to concede two runs.

The next ball turns sharply to go past the edge as Ashwin tries to defend.

The third ball again turns and bounces as Ashwin plays and misses trying to lunge forward.

The fourth ball is wide but again lot of turn and bounce beating Ashwin and also the wicketkeeper for four byes -- valuable runs for India.

A single to Ashwin brings the target down to 30.

Sundar offers his pads to a delivery pitched wide, in the rough to keep it out.

Ajaz is quite interested. He manages to plead his captain Tom Latham to take the review even though the impact was way outside the line.

No shot played but the ball is missing the off-stump by a big margin. A really poor review from New Zealand, who have no reviews left.

Phillips pitching it up as Ashwin getting well forward to get to the pitch to defend.

Ashwin gets lucky as the ball deflects off the back of the bat and hit the stumps but the bails stay intact. Ashwin defends Phillips off the front foot as the ball hits the arm and rolls on to the stumps off the back of the bat.

Ashwin reacts quickly but can't swat the ball which slowly strikes the stumps but the bails are unmoved.

Ajaz creating a lot of problems for the right-handers. With Ashwin lunging forward to defend, Ajaz moves the short leg fielder to silly point.

Ashwin gets on the backfoot to punch Ajaz through point for a single and Sundar sweeps the next for another run.

The two Tamil Nadu spinners have showed great purpose to watchfully keep the runs coming in singles.

Unplayable from Ajaz, huge turn and extra bounce to beat Ashwin, who will consider himself lucky not to have edged it and the same last ball.
