Burger continues, and Jaiswal begins the over with a solid defensive push towards cover. The bowler then strays wide, and Jaiswal lets it pass. Another leave follows, comfortably collected by the keeper. Burger's radar is still off' -- another wide, this one carrying well through to de Kock. He goes short and wide on the next ball, inviting the cut but pushing it too far outside off; Jaiswal shoulders arms again. A firm drive towards mid-off brings no run, and Burger finally hits a better channel that Jaiswal leaves on length. The last ball is the best of the over -- straightening just enough to beat Jaiswal's outside edge. Only two runs, both wides, come from the over. After three overs, India are 24 for 0.
Another wave of cheers rolls around the stadium as Rohit Sharma takes strike again. He gets moving immediately, flicking Ngidi off his pads for a comfortable single.
Jaiswal digs in at the other end, starting with a solid defensive stroke. Ngidi drifts onto the pads once more and Jaiswal helps it fine to deep backward square for a couple of runs. He then blocks the next two deliveries with assurance. Ngidi ends the over with yet another wide before Jaiswal closes it out by defending towards cover.
Just 4 runs from the over. After four overs, India are 28 for 0.
