20.6
W
Brydon Carse to Karun Nair, out Caught by Jamie Smith!! Brydon Carse looked threatening all morning and this was waiting to happen. Seam-up full delivery in the channel just outside off, lures Karun Nair into an expansive drive and gets the ball to tail away ever so slightly. Thick outside edge and Smith takes a fine catch to his right behind the stumps. Brydon Carse is nursing a foot injury, but he has looked in decent rhythm today morning.

Brydon Carse to Karun Nair, FOUR, edged and goes in the gap between first slip and second slip. Brydon Carse follows it up with another short ball in the corridor of uncertainty, Nair looks to fend with high hands and gets a thick outside edge that goes in the gap through the cordon. Both slip fielders left it to each other and there was barely any instinctive reaction...It was in fact closer to second slip. Brook was fielding at second slip and Root at first. Also, worth noting that both of them have left a healthy gap between them...
16.4
Brydon Carse to Karun Nair, no run, oh dear! That has pinged him flush on the glove or is it? umpire Chris Gaffaney has instantly signalled towards the Indian dressing room. Replays in. He has been smashed on the helmet grille and the physio is out to conduct the mandatory concussion tests. Wobbled in from a short length and rose sharply at the batter, Nair wanted to sway away from the line by ducking, but the ball kept jagging in and hit him on the front of the helmet grille...
