Boundaries, flying bats and dropped catches - Pant's 'box office' innings

England will sneak in six more balls from Josh Tongue before the lunch interval.

Joe Root, I think, didn't see it. Ollie Pope didn't see it either. Fractionally short from Shoaib Bashir and Rishabh Pant punishes him.
Slower from Shoaib Bashir and Rishabh Pant swivels on his heels and pulls him for four. To be fair, that was a calculated shot from the India wicketkeeper-batter.

Zak Crawley is going to need to get a big ton tomorrow to make up for that drop...

Josh Tongue can be so frustrating He looks good at times but bowls too many loose deliveries.
Bazzer
Rishabh Pant gets off strike to Josh Tongue to leave Shubman Gill to see off the rest of the over from Josh Tongue. If India's captain wants his colleague to see it through until lunch he might be best advised to hog the strike.

Rishabh Pant is a one-man Bazball, discuss. Can't keep your eyes off him when he's out in the middle.

'What an extraordinary shot!' - Pant sends Tongue for six again
Our colleague with an ear to to the stump microphone, Karan, has heard Shubman Gill telling Rishabh Pant to calm himself down and see it through until lunch.
There's 10 minutes to go. Let's see if India's great entertainer listens...

My only worry is Shoaib Bashir is going to bowl a lot of overs and I am not sure he'll slow the run rate down. Therefore, that lead is only going to get higher and whilst he will give the seamers a bit of a rest, he is going to be leaking runs.
This game is rattling along now as Shoaib Bashir goes through an over.
In case you missed it. Rishabh Pant, however, was dropped a little earlier.

'He threw it for six!' - Pant sends his bat sailing into the air
Mohammad Azharuddin vs South Africa in 1996 off 74 balls is the answer to that poser.
Meanwhile, Rishabh Pant throws the absolute kitchen sink at a delivery from Josh Tongue. So much so that he lets go of his bat and neds up down at square leg to much guffawing all round.

Image source, Getty ImagesEngland need to bowl the Indian side out and you cannot go defensive because then India will get the score that they want. When you can't stop the scoring rate, you'd rather try to bowl the side out. If you look at the way the pitch is behaving now, there is a chance to pick up wickets.
A front-foot slog sweep from Rishabh Pant this time off Shoaib Bashir.

However, the India batter goes deep and swivels on his heels to pull the England spinner for four.

I like to call that the standing sweep. That is a remarkable shot. Get your line slightly wrong and he'll punish you. There's two fielders out there and he's still taking them on.
