Bumrah to McSweeney, OUT, much closer decision. Bumrah’s questions to his supporters are “aawaz aaya? (Was there a bat sound? Pad pe lagi hai pehle (It’s hit pad first)” and he analyzes it. Enter Hawk-Eye and there are three reds! A nervous start for McSweeney ends quickly. The ball was on the wider side of the length, fell around the line of fifth stump and angled. McSweeney’s feet were not moving freely and this time it was the case again, he waited and tried to defend with his bat (facing cover) close to the pad but the ball snuck past. Hawk-Eye showed that the impact was in line with the start and hit the top of the middle. Hand Pace – 138ks

Bumrah to Khawaja, OUT, Taken this time by Kohli at slipall this was set up in Bumrah. It may not have been as beautiful as the first ball of the over, but the most important thing is that it finds the boundary. Khawaja was in a straight position, his feet locked before jumping, his hands extended in front of his body, the straight stick unable to cover the line. A fine point went at a leisurely pace to Kohli’s barn.

Bumrah to Smith, OUT, Boom Boom, beauty! Steps back a mile to trap Smith plumb. Goldie for number 4, which could very well have opened. He received a similar ball from Kemar Roach last summer, which initially went undistributed. But this looked a little more complete, Smith went across – as he always does – and tried to get the bat but didn’t have time. The ball slid and hit the block. 141ks, would have hit the stumps, says Hawk-Eye. Good decision not to review
SPD Smith lbw b Bumrah 0 (1b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0.00

Bumrah to Carey, OUT, sharp, taken back! What a start for Bumrah. Around mid-wicket, short on off, Carey takes a nibble and a regulation catch to Pant. Very good delivery but a timid shot from Carey
