While Shreyas Iyer got an almost unplayable delivery in the 1st innings after scoring an enterprising 31, he played a loose shot in the 2nd. As a fairly experienced batter, Iyer had to play the long game.

Mohammed Siraj shared the new ball with Jasprit Bumrah and lacked the bite he is known for. In 24 hours, Siraj cobbled together only 1 maiden for 91 runs and 2 wickets.
