Arshdeep Singh from the other end. He strikes in his first over with the big wicket of Head, who cuts it straight to Rana at thirdman to fall for eight.
Matthew Short defends the first ball he faces before he gets the next to jag away to beat the right-hander on the outside edge.
Arshdeep goes for the inswinger but it is down the leg side and is ruled a wide.
