Arshdeep Singh to Phil Salt, out Caught by Axar!! Slower ball after slower ball, I will stick to my plan, you can hit me if you are good enough is the ploy from Arshdeep Singh. Another slower ball bumper and he teased Salt with third man up. Natural urge for any batter to try and guide that away because there's an easy boundary on offer behind point but Salt walked right into the trap. When it comes off, it does look for the bowler. Good of Arshdeep Singh to not offer pace bowling this length with that field. England lose both their set batters to Arshdeep Singh. Again credit to Rohit because he could have easily changed the bowling at this end and brought Hardik/Axar on! Phil Salt c Axar b Arshdeep Singh 23(21) [4s-4]
