Gurjapneet makes no mistake. Lungi Ngidi c Gurjapneet Singh b Anshul Kamboj 3(5)

Jamie Overton to Tristan Stubbs, out Caught by Noor Ahmad!! Tristan Stubbs has flung the helmet after opening the dressing room door. He is ticking. He is clearly not happy. Also Nitish Rana, Badani and Karun Nair were having a chat with the fourth ump. They are not happy too. Doull on air says that Stubbs was denied a glove-change at the end of the last over. In between overs you can says Doull. It's full and just outside off, Stubbs gets forward to loft, the bat turns and that's why no elevation, Noor tracks back at mid-off and takes it. A bit of a bobble but he hangs on. That is the defining wicket one feels. Was the cross-seamer which has produced Jamie Overton another wicket, who is pumped too. As he walks back, Stubbs has a go at the ump. Then drops the bat near the steps and then the helmet takes a beating. Tristan Stubbs c Noor Ahmad b Jamie Overton 60(38) [4s-4 6s-3]
