Mohammad Shami to Jos Buttler
FOUR! India's day summarise in a single ball! Full again on off. Buttler again tries to go downtown but mistimes. The ball flies towards mid off where the fielder backtracks but could have probably left for the fielder running from long on. In the end, he only gets fingertips and the ball races to the long off fence.
