Strategic Break! Right then, 6 overs left in the innings and the Indian skipper has just been sent back to the hut. Rinku Singh is out there and is well set and has Jitesh Sharma and Ravindra Jadeja left to give him company.

Let’s see which side reigns supreme in the closing phase of the first innings.

Jitesh Sharma is the next man in.

This is flighted, full and around middle, turns away a bit, Suryakumar Yadav tries to go inside out and loft it over extra covers, but with the ball turning in, it means that he hits it with the bottom end of the bat and much straighter towards long off where Marco Jansen settles under it and takes a good catch.

11.6 overs (1 Run) Short and around leg, Rinku Singh works it through square leg for one more. It is signalled as leg byes though.
11.5 overs (0 Run) A good review from India! There is an appeal for a LBW, and the finger goes up. However, after a chat with Sky, Rinku Singh goes for the review.
