Kanishk Chouhan to Caleb Falconer, 1 run, yorker length on middle, Caleb Falconer gets forward to flick to deep mid-wicket
Time for cool drinks on a hot day. England still resisting with this stand. A clutch of wickets in the middle overs set them back seriously. This stand though has given them a sliver of hope, just a sliver mind.
