Axar Patel is into the attack 

 

Ball 1 Dot ball as Axar bowls it wicket to wicket 

 

Ball 2 Huge appeal for LBW as Klaasen is hit on the pads while sweeping and India have taken the review 

 

The review shows that the bat did not hit the ball. So no bat involved, but the ball is turning very much and going to miss the wicket and hence it remains not out

Ball 4 Into the leg side again and Miller straightaway wanted to get two runs, but Klaasen rejected the idea 

 

Ball 5 Slower one and pulled away for a single by Klaasen 

 

Ball 6 Wicket!! The slower ball has done the trick and Miller, who wanted to just play and run got trapped and threw the bat at it and got caught at short cover brilliantly by Ruturaj Gaikwad

Ball 3 Low full toss and Axar plays it to deep mid-wicket only for a single 

 

Ball 4 Four!! Low full toss again as Parnell goes for the yorker instead of the slower bouncer and he has been slipped past wide long-on for a four
