Sam Curran 2-27(10 ov)
39.6
Sam Curran to Ishant, no run, he's got the yorker length right, but Ishant is expecting it, digs it out into the off-side and keeps it out
39.5
Sam Curran to Ishant, no run, fuller length ball on off-stump, driven hard towards mid-off
39.4
Sam Curran to Ishant, no run, angling away from a length, Ishant has a hop but this keeps low, misses the poke into the off-side
39.3
Sam Curran to Siraj, 1 run, very full again, Siraj stays back and drills this with no timing of note to mid-off for a sharp single
39.2
Sam Curran to Siraj, no run, length ball, follows the batsman into the on-side, has a swing, and that's missed leg-stump through to the keeper
39.1
Sam Curran to Ishant, 3 runs, attempts the yorker length ball again, Ishant opens the face and squeezes this out behind point - Haseeb gives chase and he's dived to pull it back in. They've taken three...
37.6
Sam Curran to Siraj, 2 runs, another slog after parking his front foot at square leg, gets some bat on this full inswinger and beats mid-off. Hardly any timing, won't get to the fence
37.5
Sam Curran to Siraj, no run, Siraj backs away and slogs, Curran follows him with an inswinger and seems to have hit him on the box
37.4
Sam Curran to Siraj, no run, a review from England, just to please Curran and the crowd. Siraj's got a massive inside edge. A full inswinger on leg, almost got through
37.3
Sam Curran to Bumrah, out Lbw!! The finger goes up in a flash. Bumrah reviews. Length ball swinging in on leg, pitches in line, Bumrah plays right across it and misses, gets hit on the front pad, and this is crashing into leg. Another wicket, another golden duck, another hat-trick ball coming up. Bumrah lbw b Sam Curran 0(1)
37.2
Sam Curran to Jadeja, out Lbw!! He's gone! Struck on the toes by an off-stump yorker. Jadeja goes for the review, but it looks to be in hope and the fact that there are three left. Why not? This looks absolutely dead though. He has played right across the line of it, missed it, and it's clipped the outside of the front pad to the keeper, not the toes. Probably expected some outswing there, but it mostly went straight. 100 looks far from here for India. Jadeja lbw b Sam Curran 4(29)

17.5
Sam Curran to Rahane, FOUR, nervy shot! Width served, Rahane throws his arms, more of a slash and the ball flies over backward point off the top edge. A streaky boundary
17.4

15.1
Sam Curran to Rahane, no run, Rahane is half-forward to defend and is beaten on the inside edge by this inswinger. Hit above the knee-roll on the front pad and there's a muted appeal for lbw. Struck down by the ump..
13.6
Sam Curran to Rahane, no run, Rahane is in two minds - whether to play or not. Belatedly picks the latter against a full-and-wide ball. The ball hits the face of the bat and rolls towards the cordon

Sam Curran to Rohit, no run, back of a length ball on middle, Rohit stands tall on the backfoot to defend
11.3
Sam Curran to Rohit, FOUR, don't bother running. It's a rank half-volley, and Rohit has crunched a pretty check-drive to the long-off boundary, past the right of mid-off, for four. Just stand and admire...
