#1 Two wickets to low bounce

Ravindra Jadeja
It took two deliveries that kept low for India to break England's resilience

India finally managed to break through the defence of Hameed, albeit with a delivery that kept pretty low. Ashwin's delivery hardly bounced after pitching, almost rolling along the ground to strike a crouching Hameed on his pads.

A brilliant 145 ball vigil from the young opener had ended in an unlucky manner but did not take the sheen off his effort. Cook was next as Jadeja managed to find the right spot for the ball to not bounce much. The delivery rapped Cook on the pads and even a review could not save him.
