Jadeja and Akash Deep have so far played it watchfully and India will need a miracle to save them from this position.

Two dots later, Akash defends the ball down as he plays out the over safely.

Phillips continues and after three dots Jadeja gets a single to mid-wicket.

Akash Deep is then beaten as he goes for the big swing and the ball goes past his outside edge.

A dot to end the over as 1 comes off it.

Santner continues and Jadeja starts the over with two dots.

Jadeja then gets a thick edge as he attempts a cut and the ball flies past Mitchell at slips and the ball goes to the boundary.

Jadeja then takes a single to the leg side.

Akash then just plays the ball down before he swings it to long off for a dot. 5 runs come off the over.

Phillips comes around the wicket to Jadeja and he bowls short and the ball is pulled towards deep mid-wicket for a four!

A dot later, Jadeja takes a single to deep point.

Akash then plays two dots before Akash comes down the track but gets nothing off it. Five come off the over.
