Jacob Duffy to operate from the other end. Sanju Samson, who is desperate to makes some runs, is on strike. 

Two dots on the trot before Samson opens his account with a single through covers. 

Duffy then beats Suryakumar with a quick leg-cutter.  

Four! Suryakumar shuffles across and flicks the flick one through square leg. 

Out! India lose their second as Suryakumar is out caught and bowled.

Short of a good length and Suryakumar stays leg-side to drive it on the rise but ends up tapping it back to the bowler who takes an great catch. 

The Indian skipper falls cheaply, making 8 off 8 with two boundaries.
