Axar Patel to Malan Kruger, out Caught by Jasprit Bumrah!! Superb catch to his left by Bumrah and everyone are smiles in the Indian camp. It's a fat top-edge on the sweep, was full outside off, Malan Kruger wants to sweep, the top-edge is not judged well as Bumrah goes back at short fine. He was away from the ball, so lunged to his left with both hands as it swerved away at the last moment and managed to hang on. He has a big smile on his face after that and even the normally expressionless Gambhir manages a smile. Malan Kruger c Jasprit Bumrah b Axar Patel 5(10) [4s-1]
