Axar attempts to take an aggressive approach by stepping out of his crease. However, he mistimes the shot and is only able to score a single run. Karn delivers a short ball, which Axar expertly pulls off the back foot, resulting in a boundary.
Green is on strike. He lofts the ball well over long off for a maximum. Another six runs are scored as the ball goes over long on. A double is taken next, followed by a single as Green tries to play it behind. To finish the over, Lomros sweeps the ball over deep square for another maximum
Jocks lofted the ball over long on for a maximum. However, Jacks struck the ball with a leading edge, causing it to go high in the air. The ball was dropped by skipper Axar Patel. Patidar then lofted the ball on the on-side, but it was dropped by Shai Hope at the boundary line.
Ishant delivers to Kohli, the ball finds the outside edge but with no slip fielder present, it races behind for a boundary! And now, a massive six! Kohli smashes it over long on for a maximum once more. Kohli steps out once again, but this time he misses, resulting in a dot ball. The next delivery pitches outside leg, resulting in a wide being called. And there it is, the breakthrough!
