Dropped! Shreyas Iyer of all the people drops a dolly! Bangs a slower ball, outside off. Rassie van der Dussen pulls it but straight to deep mid-wicket where Shreyas Iyer doesn't move an inch but drops a sitter. Could this be a blessing in disguise for India?

Leg bye! A yorker tailing on the pads. Rassie van der Dussen fails to tuck it away and it goes off the pads and to fine leg for a leg bye. Khan appeals but that was clearly going down.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar to David Miller
Wide! Kumar stays away from the arc and serves it way outside off. Miller slashes and misses. Rishabh Pant collects and appeals and takes the review after getting a no from the umpire. Pant is having a chat with Miller and goes back to his position as the replay shows there was nothing on the UltraEdge.

SIX! Rassie van der Dussen has come alive, late but in just time! The stand is now 111! This is full and on off. Rassie van der Dussen stays back and pummels it over cow corner for a biggie.

Harshal Patel to Rassie van der Dussen
TWO LEG BYES! NOT OUT! Patel serves a low dipping full toss on middle and leg. Rassie van der Dussen steps down and across to slog-sweep it but misses and gets rapped on the pads. An appeal for LBW but nothing given. Patel convinces Pant to take it upstairs and Ball Tracking shows the batter came well out and also the impact was outside off.
