Tongue to Akash Deep, byes, FOUR, sprayed down the leg side again! On a length and the swing takes it well down the leg side - nothing that Jamie Smith could have done
68.5
Tongue to Akash Deep, no run, fuller but much wider outside off, left alone
68.4
Tongue to Akash Deep, no run, almost another wicket! 140 clicks, a fuller delivery that pitches around middle and was the outswinger. Too good for Akash Deep who swings totally down the wrong line and just over the stumps the cherry passes

Tongue to Karun Nair, out Lbw!! Josh Tongue after spraying it down the leg side and well wide outside off produces another ripper to get rid of Karun Nair! A bit fuller and pitched just outside off, nipped back in sharply and beats the inside edge and thuds onto the back pad knee roll. Very tentative from Karun Nair, made minimal foot movement on that delivery and the front leg angled to his left. After a fighting fifty, Karun Nair has to walk back.

64.1
4

39.3
W
Tongue to Jadeja, out Caught by Jamie Smith!! Oopsy, I cannot get out of the way kind of push-defence from Jadeja. Another peach of a ball that a batter couldn't have done much about. Tongue has been wayward spraying it down the leg-side often, but he's bowled some tough balls as well and got two wickets in this spell. This short of length delivery jumped on Jadeja while moving away. Jadeja was hopping to try and defend, but all he managed was an outside edge almost unavoidable. Jadeja c Jamie Smith b Tongue 9(13) [4s-1]
39.2
4
Tongue to Jadeja, FOUR, the upper cut! He's been trying to play this shot every time it's been short and wide since the last Test. Middles it well and clears the cordon. Tongue tried the bumper but offered width there, guided for four
39.1
4
Tongue to Jadeja, byes, FOUR, oh swinging down the leg-side from round the wicket. There was a sound as the ball passed the bat but it's bat hitting pad and Jadeja made no contact with the ball. Smith had no chance to the right
37.6
Tongue to Karun Nair, no run, oh thought of playing at this short of length delivery and then withdrew. Short of a length delivery moving away, Karun almost got sucked into the a push away from the body as he followed the away-moving ball
37.5
4

35.4
W
Tongue to Sai Sudharsan, out Caught by Jamie Smith!! Edged and gone! Nothing the batter could have done there to escape this ball. Wobble seam short of length delivery angling in and heading bang on off stump. Sai Sudharsan had to play. He tried to defend off the back foot, but the ball nipped away late. Sai got squared up, the bat came down at an angle because of that and the outside edge was ineviatable. Sai grimaces, throws his head back and walks off without waiting for the finger. England have got a batter who was determined to dig deep. Sai Sudharsan c Jamie Smith b Tongue 38(108) [4s-6]
35.3
Tongue to Karun Nair, 1 run, oh tentative cover drive. Full and wide of off stump, Karun leans forward and sees the ball nip back in and controls the shot, mistimed push to cover

4

12.3
Tongue to Sai Sudharsan, no run, good length delivery outside off, left alone
12.2
Tongue to Sai Sudharsan, no run, that has Sai Sudharsan on the floor! Screaming inswinging yorker from Tongue and it caught Sai Sudharsan by surprise, loud shout for lbw but umpire Kumar Dharmasena shakes his head and signals "inside edge". Ended up being a low full-toss and Sai Sudharsan was caught in an absolute tangle, he's lucky he managed to get a little inside edge on that
12.1
Tongue to Sai Sudharsan, no run, 142kph, pitched up full and outside off, Sai Sudharsan fends inside the line to let it go
10.6

8.4
Tongue to Sai Sudharsan, no run, good length delivery just outside off, gets this one right and Sai Sudharsan lets it go, crowd cheers for Tongue as he gets one right
8.4
Tongue to Sai Sudharsan, 5 wides, this isn't going too well for Tongue I'm afraid, he's completely lost his bearings, full and miles down the leg-side, splits the keeper and leg-slip again and neither was in touching distance of this, looks like his front-leg is slipping on landing
8.4
Tongue to Sai Sudharsan, wide, that's another dreadful delivery, short, outside off and nearly off the pitch, will be another wide
8.3
Tongue to Sai Sudharsan, no run, full and just heading down leg from round the wicket, this probably isn't an error but a plan, Sai Sudharsan nearly gets sucked into glancing it but it goes through
8.2

8.1
Tongue to Rahul, no run, 136kph, full and wide outside off this time, he'll get away with it but he won't be getting the batters to play at that
8.1
Tongue to Rahul, 5 wides, that's a real loosner from Tongue, dug in short and heading way down leg, both the keeper and the man at leg-slip were diving for it and neither could reach it, perflectly split the two and went down to the ropes for five wides
