Shivam Dube is the new batter as Clarke is brought back into the attack. Hardik defends the first delivery before driving the next towards long-off for a single. Dube gets off the mark with a couple of runs as Santner fields. He then flicks one towards midwicket for a single. Hardik flicks a ball towards fine leg for no run, and a single off the last delivery brings the over to a close. Just five runs come off it -- the debutant's best over so far. After 13 overs, India are 154 for 4.
Kyle Jamieson returns to the attack. Hardik welcomes him with a boundary, followed by a wide down the leg side. He powers the next delivery towards long-off for a single. Dube then smashes a huge six, but his innings ends immediately after -- caught and bowled by Jamieson off an easy chance. Dube departs for 9 off 4 balls.
Rinku Singh walks in as the new batter. He swings and misses the first delivery, which replay shows was within the red-line wide indicators -- not technically a wide, but still called wide by the umpire. Rinku misses the next ball as well before finishing the over with a single.
Fourteen runs and a wicket come off the over, leaving India at 168 for 5 after 14 overs.
