Riyan Parag to Shreyas Iyer, out Caught by Jaiswal!! Riyan Parag breaks the partnership! Goes full and wide outside off, nicely tosses it up and Shreyas Iyer tries to reach out for it.

Hetmyer takes a low catch to break the 58-run stand.

2.3
Bartlett to Jaiswal, no run, pitched up ball, driven straight to mid-on. There's a direct-hit at the bowler's end and the ball deflects away. Jaiswal sees that and takes off for a risky run. Vaibhav Suryavanshi sends him back. The throw comes to the keeper's end and Jaiswal survives as he puts in a dive
