Ashwin to Rory Burns, out Caught by Rahane!! Ashwin strikes first ball.. Wow! That’s a great start for the home side. Kohli is delighted and that should pump them up. Tosses one from round the wicket. Burns prods forward to defend but the ball spins away with extra bounce, catches the shoulder of the bat and […]

Bumrah to Daniel Lawrence, out Lbw!! That’s excellent bit of captaincy. Most captains would have been tempted to keep Ashwin going against the inexperienced Lawrence but Kohli brought back his ace pacer and he delivers. This was so plumb that Bumrah started celebrating as the ball struck the pad and just turned around to get a confirmation […]

Ashwin to Rory Burns, out Caught by Pant!! What was that? Burns has just gift-wrapped his wicket to India. Ashwin and Kohli won’t mind this. They have their first wicket just before the lunch break. Tossed up delivery on off-stump, Burns goes for the ambitious reverse sweep, without bending down fully, the ball hits his glove and […]

Bumrah to Smith, out Smith Run Out!! 1 run completed. 144.5kph, Smith pushes this short of a good length delivery into the on-side backward of square off the inner edge and tries to keep the strike coming back for a second. But, he fancied his chance against the wrong man. Jadeja runs to his right from square leg, […]

Bumrah to Paine, out Bowled!! Cleaned up! That’s a rippah. Just too good for Paine. Very similar to the one that Green got. Good length ball that nips back in at 138.1kph. Paine’s feet go nowhere as he pushes his hands forward, the ball finds the gap between bat and pad to hit the top of […]

Siraj to Will Pucovski, no run, How about that for a catch? Pant put down an easy chance a couple of overs back, but he has taken a fine catch this time around. Or has he? Oh no, he has put down yet another chance! Will Pucovski gets another life. Looks like it’s his day. And Pant […]

Siraj to Warner, out Caught by Pujara!! India have their early wicket.. This is a huge one. As a returning David Warner departs for a low score. Finger on the lip celebration from Siraj. Not sure who it was intended to. Very similar delivery to the previous one which Warner missed. Full and angled across the left […]

Umesh Yadav to Burns, out Caught by Pant!!An absolute peach and Burns has been caught behind, but at the last moment, he decides to review. Took a long time, had a big chat with his partner and signalled for it. HotSpot detects a mark, so the onfield call will stay and Burns’s misery is over. He was on […]

Bumrah to Wade, no run, back of a length angling into Wade who defends softly to mid-wicket. After that the India wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant and Australian skipper Paine exchanged few words. It’s always an entertaining bunter between these two players on the field. Here is the clip of that video: The Wade-Pant verbals continue 🗣🍿 […]
