Mitchell is struck on the pads by the incoming delivery before he uses his feet but can only tap it back to the bowler and he keeps out the last two balls.

Another change in the bowling as India's fourth pacer Gurnoor Brar comes into the attack in place of Nabi.

He starts with a leg side wide to Latham, who clips the next ball for a single. Mitchell is hurried into the pull shot as he is unable to time the shot, but it falls in the gap between midwicket and mid-on for a single.

Latham opens the face of the bat but can't get it past a diving Axar at point followed by another two dot balls.
