1.5
Theekshana to Sai Sudharsan, 1 run, Hetmyer drops a regulation catch! Half-volley outside off again, Sudharsan drills it to extra cover, doesn't keep it down and it goes straight to Hetmyer who tries grabbing it with the reverse-cup but ends up getting hit on the chest

Fifth time this season Sai Sudharsan has been dropped - the joint most by a batter. In each of the previous innings he was dropped, he went on to score a half-century. It was the first drop by Hetmyer, after having taken each of the eight previous chances offered to him.

Theekshana to Sai Sudharsan, out Caught by Riyan Parag!! Theekshana breaks the partnership, getting rid of Sudharsan who was dropped off his bowling earlier. Hetmyer, who was the fielder who dropped that catch, is on his knees in celebration. 94kph, full around off, Sudharsan looks to loft it down the ground but isn't able to get under it. He hits it only as far as long-on and it's a simple catch for Parag.
