Usman Khawaja 5(38)
45.6
U Yadav to Khawaja, out Caught by Pant!! Umesh Yadav gets a wicket! Khawaja has thrown it away. The Indian pacer is pumped up. Jumps in the air and yells out a roar. A very ordinary stroke from Australia's No. 3 batsman. It was an innocuous ball from Umesh - shortish and wide outside off. Khawaja went back in crease to cut and all he could manage was a thick edge that carries comfortably to the keeper. It might have bounced a tad more than Khawaja anticipated, nevertheless it was a lethargic shot. Khawaja c Pant b U Yadav 5(38)
