India 2nd inns 146-8 (60 ovs); Target 193 Scorecard

Bashir with his second over and Jadeja defends the good length delivery on off, leaning forward. He then edges one through slips but refuses to take a single. 

A single through deep point brings Bumrah on strike. 

Bumrah then sees off the next three deliveries. Just a single off the over. 


Stokes continues and Jadeja tries to clip the back off a length delivery angling down but misses. He then picks a single through square. He was looking for a double but Ollie Pope charges down and throws the ball at the non-striker's end and keeps it to a single. 

Bumrah is on strike. Shortish delivery outside off and Bumrah defends it comfortably. He then sees off the rest of the over. Just a single off it. 

Bashir with another over and Jadeja goes back and punches it to deep point. No run. He then glances the next ball, drifting down to leg, to fine leg but no run on offer. 

Jadeja taps the next ball through deep mid-wicket and brings Bumrah on strike. He defends the fourth delivery before attempting to hoist the next ball but ends up dragging it to deep mid-wicket

Four! Bashir sends down a full delivery down the leg and it kisses the pad and races away to the boundary. Five come off the over. 

India need 48 more. 


Stokes continues and Jadeja punches the first ball to mid-on. No run. He defends the remaining deliveries too. Another maiden for Stokes.
