Axar to Jacob Bethell, out Caught by Karun Nair!! Jacob Bethell showed sparks of brilliance in his short stay but Axar gets the better of him. Axar smartly slows his pace on this one as bowls it on the shorter side at 85.5kph on leg-stump. Jacob Bethell rocks to pull it across but is not able to generate enough power behind it. Karun runs in from deep backward square leg and dives in front to take a well-judged catch

Jacob Bethell c Karun Nair b Axar 12(6) [4s-1 6s-1]

I once read a report by a cricket report in which he wrote "that was the best 0 not out that I ever witnessed",the tailender the last man in stayed at the wicket and faced 32 balls to allow the batsman to reach 100,he was on 60 runs when the tailender came .Have you seen a better Nought Not Out?lol
