Jofra Archer to Jitesh Sharma, FOUR, slower short ball outside off, Jitesh does well to wait on it and pulls it to the midwicket boundary! Was struck on the helmet earlier in the over but still watches the ball closely to spot the variation

19.1
Jofra Archer to Jitesh Sharma, no run, Jitesh steps across the stumps but gets a cracking yorker at close to 149kph, He can't do much other than dig it out
15.6
Jofra Archer to Tim David, no run, oh cracking short ball and David has to take evasive action! Dug into the pitch at high pace, lifts sharply and David arches his back and manages to get out of the way in time as it zips past his nose. He shares a friendly word with Archer and they both have a smile on their face
15.5
Jofra Archer to Tim David, no run, sharp bouncer and Archer can't believe it's been called a wide. He's gesturing to Parag to go for the review and the skipper obliges. While that process is going on, looks like the ball is being replaced. Here's ball-tracking, David's height is 1.95 meters, and this ball went at 1.93 meters, so it's a fair delivery
15.4

15.3
4

15.1
W
Jofra Archer to Kohli, out Caught by Nitish Rana!! Archer is brought back and he immediately gets rid of Kohli! Should he have been brought on earlier when the partnership was flourishing? Short of length on off, slower leg-cutter and it grips and holds in the pitch as Kohli tries punching it over extra cover. He gets it quite high on the splice and spoons it in the air. Simple catch for Rana in the circle as Archer does the job asked of him. Kohli c Nitish Rana b Jofra Archer 70(42) [4s-8 6s-2]
