Bartlett to Shivam Dube, out Caught by Josh Inglis!! This time he nicks off. The only difference from the previous ball was the line. The four was outside off stump, Bartlett landed this on middle stump and got it seam with extra bounce. Dube played that awkward poke away from the body with absolutely no feet, ball flies off the outside edge and Inglis dives to the left. Two wickets in this over to derail the Indian innings again. Shivam Dube c Josh Inglis b Bartlett 4(2) [4s-1]

Bartlett to Shivam Dube, FOUR, edgy but who cares! The trademark Dube poke with no feet to a ball that rises on him, thick edge goes through the vacant slip region and third man can't cut it off

Bartlett to Harshit Rana, out Caught by Tim David!! Short slower delivery into the wicket, Harshit tries to fetch it from off-side, backed himself to clear the shorter straight boundary at the G but holed out. Back of the hand slower delivery, Harshit was already staying leg-side so he had to fetch, got it off the bottom of the bat. Pretty decent hand though. Might have wasted a few balls towards the end but he hung around to give support to Abhishek Sharma. Harshit Rana c Tim David b Bartlett 35(33) [4s-3 6s-1]

Bartlett to Axar, out Axar Run Out!! 2 runs completed. Poor communication between the two. Axar initially was slow to take off for the first run but felt there was enough time for the third run while Abhishek Sharma was only keen for two. He put his arm out to stop his partner. By then Axar was already halfward down the pitch. He slipped and tried to dive home but was caught short. Tim David didn't think there was a runout chance. He spotted the batters trying the third and quickly fired a good throw to Inglis, who did the rest. Needless runout for India. Axar run out (Tim David/Josh Inglis) 7(12)

Bartlett to Axar, no run, mistimes the pull towards the bowler

Bartlett to Abhishek Sharma, SIX, this is why this guy is dangerous. He faced 4 balls and rocketed to 14 already. It is swinging so Bartlett goes full, Abhishek danced down the pitch, spotted the inswing and made room accordingly for a clean lofted drive over extra-cover. First maximum of the day
1.5
Bartlett to Abhishek Sharma, 2 runs, now he goes down the ground, clears mid-on to the right but it slows down and they cut it back to two. Length delivery swinging back in, Abhishek had a good downswing of the bat, had to adjust to the swing cramping him for room but he reacted so well

1.2
