OUT! CAUGHT! What an introduction into the attack for Axar Patel and he’s got the big fish. Axar just strides in from around the stumps and slides one in fuller around off with that high-arm action. Jos Buttler tries to put him under pressure right away by bringing out the reverse sweep but miscues the ball right off the cue end of the bat. The ball lobs up just behind the keeper and Rishabh Pant takes a dolly of a catch.

FOUR! JUST OVER! Pitched up outside the line of off stump, Jos Buttler dances down the track and stays leg side of the ball before swatting it away over a leaping Hardik Pandya at mid off for a boundary.

On a good length and at the pads, Jos Buttler with a flick of the wrist and the ball goes to deep square leg as the batters get one.
1.5 overs (4 Runs)

1.4 overs (0 Run)
Good length in the channel around off, Jos Buttler goes back and across before trying to squeeze it out on the off side but can’t find the gap at cover-point.
1.3 overs (0 Run)
There’s that slow nature of the pitch on display again. Pitched up a bit, taking pace off as well, Jos Buttler looks to drive on the up but mistimes it uppishly on the bounce to mid off.
1.2 overs (2 Runs)
On a hard length and angled in at the batter, Jos Buttler clips it away neatly behind square leg and picks up a couple of handy runs.
