All
19.1
W
Shivam Dube to Jacob Bethell, out Jacob Bethell Run Out!! 1 run completed. That should be the game for India. The crowd goes wild and Bethell buries his face into the ground in agony. He has been run out by yards. Close to the blockhole, can't get under it as he drills it down the ground. India have got their field placement right with a very straight long-off. Hardik it is. Fields it cleanly and fires in a flat throw at the keeper's end. One bounce to Samson who gathers safely and breaks the stumps. The two was never on but Bethell had no choice. Even a desperate dive isn't enough. Jacob Bethell run out (Hardik Pandya/Sanju Samson) 105(48) [4s-8 6s-7]

Hardik Pandya to Jacob Bethell, 1 run, Hardik keeping it simple and going for the yorkers. It's a low full toss outside off and Bethell fails to get under it as he drives to extra cover

H
Hardik Pandya to Jacob Bethell, SIX, sliced in the air, Axar reaches out full stretch, gets fingertips but not much more. Just about clears the ropes. This game has been incredibly helter-skelter but do take a moment to applaud what has been a sensational knock. Hundred for Jacob Bethell off just 45 balls. Slower length ball angled away outside off, off-cutter, he goes hard and slices it wide of long-off
18
Jasprit Bumrah to Jacob Bethell, 1 run, yorker at the toes, Bethell squeezes it through midwicket and Bumrah is done for the evening. He is on his haunches while the crowd stands and applauds another superb over. But he's not going to play any further part with the ball, unless... well let's not go there
17.3
Jasprit Bumrah to Jacob Bethell, 1 run, he's like a machine out there, yorker after yorker and the crowd rises in applause. Slower dipping yorker on off, squeezed out into the on-side

Arshdeep Singh to Jacob Bethell, FOUR, this is sensational. It really is. You can barely fault Arshdeep here. Almost nails the wide yorker outside off, but Bethell reaches out full stretch, opens the face and slices it fine past the keeper. Can't do much as a bowler other than take your hat off
16.5
6
Arshdeep Singh to Jacob Bethell, SIX, one little error from Arshdeep and he's been smashed down the ground. Brutal from Bethell. Low full toss tailing in, he leans back, swings hard and hammers it over mid-off who is in the ring. Wouldn't have mattered even if he was all the way back
16.5
Arshdeep Singh to Jacob Bethell, wide, too wide outside off, left alone
16.2
Arshdeep Singh to Jacob Bethell, 1 run, anticipates a yorker, goes for a scoop but Arshdeep has kept this wide outside off. So Bethell makes the adjustment on the fly while he's crouched on the crease. Turns the bat face and steers it to backward point
16.1
Arshdeep Singh to Jacob Bethell, no run, huge collective gasp from the crowd as they're left in awe by this reverse-swinging yorker. Chants of "Arshdeep Singh" go up. Tailing in at the stumps, Bethell has to be on top of his game to dig it out, and he is

This was from over the wicket

13.3

13.1
4
Arshdeep Singh to Jacob Bethell, FOUR, oh Arshdeep will count himself unlucky. Bethell was backing away, and he made him reach for the ball with a slower bouncer well wide outside off. Gets it right off the toe-end but manages to slice it over short third
13
Axar Patel to Jacob Bethell, 1 run, very full, quite quick, doesn't allow Bethell to get under it. He goes hard and mistimes it down to long-on

4
Varun Chakaravarthy to Jacob Bethell, FOUR, oh he hasn't allowed Varun to settle at all. Over the wicket, it's a googly outside off and out comes the reverse-sweep. He scoops it over short third. What a takedown this is from Bethell, being severe on India's main spin weapon
11
Jasprit Bumrah to Jacob Bethell, no run, slower full toss outside off, Bethell knocks it gently to cover, might've been deceived initially but managed to adjust
10.5
4
Jasprit Bumrah to Jacob Bethell, FOUR, the boundaries keep coming! Short of length on off, pace off, Bethell waits on the pull long enough before timing it nicely through square leg. Fielder was in the ring there. Frustration showing on Bumrah who throws his head back and looks to the sky
10.4
Jasprit Bumrah to Jacob Bethell, no run, cracking yorker at the stumps, Bethell squeezes it out to cover
10.3
F
Jasprit Bumrah to Jacob Bethell, 2 runs, slower dipping yorker at the toes, Bethell pokes it into the midwicket region, charges back for two and raises a superb fifty. Just 19 balls he has taken and has given England a glimmer of hope
9.3
Axar Patel to Jacob Bethell, 1 run, run out chance missed! Bethell cuts straight to Hardik at backward point, he's on the back foot and slow to take off but Jacks is already committed to the single. A rocket throw comes in at the bowler's end and misses. Bethell was well short. He would've been short even if Axar stayed close to the stumps and taken the bails off. But because it was such a powerful throw and bounced just in front, he had to jump back to gather, and then tried flicking it onto the stumps. Missed!
9.3
Axar Patel to Jacob Bethell, wide, round the wicket, uses the angle and slants it away wide of off, Bethell tries to cut but misses. Umpire reckons it's outside the marker

8.2
4
Varun Chakaravarthy to Jacob Bethell, FOUR, backs away and slaps it over the off-side ring. Picks his spot well. Back of a length around middle, Bethell makes his own room and cuts it over cover. What a blinder of a knock this is. Just a hit away from a fifty
8.1
4
Varun Chakaravarthy to Jacob Bethell, FOUR, again you can see what a true pitch allows batters to do. Not all that short, it's a googly across off, but Bethell sits deep in the crease as he pulls through midwicket
