51.2
Harshit Rana to Mitchell Starc, out Caught by Pant!! Finally the last wicket falls and Australia are bowled out for 104. Not sure if he deliberately took some pace off this one. 131kph, good length on off, Starc looks to slog but miscues it off a thick edge. It goes very high in the air, and Pant waves the gully fielder out of his way as he settles under it. No mistake from him. Mitchell Starc c Pant b Harshit Rana 26(112) [4s-2]
