69.5
W
Mujeeb to Pujara, out Caught by Nabi!! Mujeeb fogged Pujara's head there with his finger variations. Bowled a googly, followed it up with a carrom ball, and gets Pujara with this googly. Oh wait, that was an intended carrom ball that doesn't quite spin away. Spun on to deflect off the bat and Nabi takes a sharp catch at leg slip. Brilliant field setting, and a brilliant delivery to get rid of India's No.3 .. err .. No. 4 Pujara c Nabi b Mujeeb 35(52) [4s-6]

Rashid Khan to Pujara, FOUR, Nabi drops it at slip. A leg break that bounces at Pujara and takes the outside edge. Travels at good height to Nabi, who's just off-balance to take the catch a bit to his left. Just wasn't expecting the ball to come to him, and so reacted late. That's a major moment in the game, if we haven't had enough

55.4
