K Richardson to Ashwin, out Caught by Maxwell!! India finish with 186/7! Tries to play the lofted shot again, but doesn't have enough legs to clear Maxwell at long-off. Fourth wicket of the innings for Richardson and he'll be pretty satisfied with his bowling spell today. Ashwin c Maxwell b K Richardson 6(2) [6s-1]

K Richardson to Suryakumar Yadav, out Caught&Bowled!! That's the third wicket for Richardon! Suryakumar Yadav tries to flick this away, but he is way too early. Right of the cue end as the ball lobs straight back to Richardson. He puts his hands on his mouth and finds it quite funny, does the bowler. Brilliant knock, nevertheless.

K Richardson to Karthik, out Caught by Maxwell!! Karthik departs after playing a cameo. Not a bad shot though. Tries to play the slogsweep against this length ball, but ends up playing it straight to the fielder at deep mid-wicket.

K Richardson to Hardik Pandya, out Caught by Tim David!! That's a soft dismissal. Didn't look in his elements today did Pandya. A slower short ball around off, Hardik Pandya plays a mediocre shot. Ends up guiding it straight to the fielder at short third man. Didn't pick that slower one at all, and departs quite early. Not the kind of warm-up game he was looking for. Hardik Pandya c Tim David b K Richardson 2(5)
