Mayank on 16 runs with his four  4s.  He is batting well. 

Rahul on the other side trying to consolidate. Good combination/ strategy. 

Nick: "Looks like these guys are wanting to knock off that deficit in double quick time. Good positive stuff"

Jigar Shah: "It seems a planned aggression by India. Knowing fully variable bounce there are chance of one unplayable ball is round the corner. Better to attack and forced bowler to err in length. Its a game of small margins. " ---- I think it's also that they know the pitch will have more spite later, and right after using the heavy roller is a good time to not let any scoring opportunities go.
