Axar to Josh Inglis, out Bowled!! Cleaned up! Second wicket for Axar. He has been at his miserly best. This is flatter and attacking the stumps, Inglis comes down the track and swings through the line, misses and allows the ball to sneak past the inside edge before smashing into the stumps. Inglis could not get going after those two fours off Bumrah and wanted a release shot, didn't get it and he loses his wicket. Josh Inglis b Axar 12(11) [4s-2]

Axar to Josh Inglis, no run, India lose a review. That's 1:1 for Jitesh Sharma. He got the Short review spot on but not this one. Short and around off, Inglis looks to cut and misses. He was cramped for room and couldn't get the space. There was a sound and hence Jitesh went up, but RTS came back with a flat-line

Axar to Mitchell Marsh, no run, big shout for caught behind. Jitesh Sharma, Axar and SKY confer, decide against the review. Jitesh suggests it was off the arm. Tossed up around off, Marsh sits down to sweep and misses. There was a sound but the ball was nowhere close to the bat
5
Axar to Josh Inglis, 2 runs, fuller and outside off, Inglis reaches and drives in front of square, chase for the long-off fielder and the duo scamper back

Axar to Matthew Short, out Lbw!! Excellent review! Jitesh Sharma was pointing at the stumps to the umpire when appealing. Axar too was confident. But the umpire wasn't. SKY does not take too much convincing to challenge the onfield call. Short misses the sweep and is struck on the pad. The only question - where was the impact? Ball-tracking showed it to be in-line and hitting the leg-stump. India have their first wicket.. Matthew Short lbw b Axar 25(19) [4s-2 6s-2]
