With India toiling at 72/4, the pressure was back on the Indians. Rishabh Pant too could have walked back early, but it was Tim Southee who dropped a dolly at slips during Jamison’s over. The wicket keeper batsman then went onto play some gutsy shots, in an attempt to counter attack. After a 37-run-stand, Ajinkya Rahane was dismissed in unlucky manner as he gloved it down the leg to BJ Watling in Trent Boult’s over.
