OUT! Dhananjaya c Hooda b Axar 3(6). Quicker delivery misses the bat and crashes into the stumps 3 (6 balls)
OUT! Pathum Nissanka c Tripathi b Axar 33 (35 balls). Looking to go for the big hit over but holes out at deep mid-wicket.

OUT! Kusal Mendis lbw b Yuzvendra Chahal 52 (31 balls). Misses a googly which hits the front pad plumb in front but the umpire shakes his head. Hardik Pandya takes the DRS and succeeds as the batter sees three reds on the screen.
