Atkinson to Karun Nair, out Caught by Jamie Smith!! Gone now!! On a length and hits the deck hard, generates steep bounce and surprises Karun Nair. He was tentative in his crease and prodded at it.

Atkinson to Gill, out Lbw!! First ball wicket for this session! Just the start the hosts needed. A length ball that pitched outside off, nipped back in sharply and thuds onto the front pad below the knee roll. Gill planted his front leg a long way across and then his pad became an impediment for the bat to come through as the ball angled inwards. India's highest run scorer for the series is out cheaply for the second time in this 5th Test.
