Kyle Jamieson continues. Rinku flicks one towards midwicket for a quick two, then slams a boundary. A dot ball follows, before he plays towards deep backward point for a single. Axar responds with a shot towards long-on for a couple of runs, and a single off the final delivery ends the over. Ten runs come off it, taking India to 197 for 6 after 17 overs.
Clarke is brought into the attack. Axar nudges one to point for a single, and Rinku responds with a massive six, followed by a boundary and a single. But Axar is caught off a lofted drive by Mitchell Santner, who moves sharply to his right to take a brilliant catch. Axar departs for 5 off 5 balls. Arshdeep is the new batter and gets off the mark with a couple of runs. Fourteen runs and a wicket come off the over.
After 18 overs India are 211-7.
