25.3
Matt Henry to Pant, out Caught by Latham!! There goes wicket number 8! Shocking day for India so far to say the least! Length delivery on middle, hit the deck and nipped away, Pant was only half-forward as he defended tentatively, it took a healthy outside edge and went straight to Latham at second slip. With Pant gone, India's hopes of getting a respectable total sink drastically. Matt Henry has four to his name now, he really has bowled superbly. Pant c Latham b Matt Henry 20(49) [4s-2]
