Theekshana to Axar, out Caught by Dhruv Jurel!! The fun ends. The full toss this time does the trick. Low full toss, angled in, Axar heaved it off the closed face of the bat which twisted on impact. The shot was powerless and Jurel at long-on took an easy catch. The skipper goes but seems to have done his job. They needed someone to give them some kind of impetus and that has been provided. Wasn't a great ball but has handed Theekshana a wicket. He shook his head despite getting the wicket. Axar c Dhruv Jurel b Theekshana 34(14) [4s-4 6s-2]
