Nick: "I like Buttler smuggling in overs from part timers after wickets when the deck is stacked against the bowlers. Not that I'll change the outcome."

Root to Rahul, SIX, stand and deliver! A slot delivery on middle, Rahul lines it up and smokes it downtown for a flat maximum. He hit that one really well

gottim, this time the yorker misses the bat. Gets the length right and the line too, seemingly, and Rahul misses the flick and is hit on the back pad, around shin-high. He's reviewed though...

Saqib Mahmood to Rahul, THATS OUT!! Lbw!!

Saqib Mahmood to Rahul, out Lbw!! Rahul has been trapped in front but he has taken the review. Did he get some bat on it? Was a yorker length ball that tailed in from middle, Rahul tried to play it across but got beaten on the inside edge to get hit on the back leg. UltraEdge shows a gap between bat and ball. Over to ball-tracking and it returns three reds - it would have gone onto crash into the leg-stump. A good cameo from Rahul. Rahul lbw b Saqib Mahmood 40(29) [4s-3 6s-1]

Harshit Rana, right handed bat, comes to the crease
