Varun Chakaravarthy to Phil Salt, MISFIELD, FOUR! That should have been stopped. Going away with the angle, dropped short. Salt gets the width to work with, and he slams it to the right of deep point. Prince Yadav is quick across the turf in the deep but does not read the spin and overruns the ball. It goes past his left thigh for four more. 18 runs off the over.

Prince Yadav to Jacob Bethell, Nearly went to hand and there was a run out chance as well. This is on a back of a length, off-pace delivery, on middle. Bethell plays the short-arm jab but it goes uppishly and lands in front of Axar Patel at mid-wicket. Phil Salt was out of his crease as he tried to sneak in a single. Axar has a shy at the bowling end but misses.

Prince Yadav to Harry Brook, OUT! IN THE AIR AND GONE! Prince Yadav strikes right back. A bit more effort behind this ball by Prince, on a shortish length, on middle. Brook does not quite go for the pull, but it is more a swipe across the line. There is a bit of lift off the deck and Brook only gets the height and not the distance. Abhishek Sharma settles under the skier at deep mid-wicket, and even though the ball pops out of his grasp a bit, he clings onto it close to his chest while falling on his back.

Shivam Dube to Phil Salt, Full and on off. Salt firms the drive wide of extra cover. Tilak Varma gets low to his right but takes his eyes off the ball at the last moment and can't pick the ball up in one go. There could have been a run out chance at the bowling end had Tilak picked it up cleanly.

Prince Yadav to Jos Buttler, OUT! CASTLED! A corker of a yorker from Prince Yadav. Not a lot Jos Buttler could have done about that. Prince steams in from over the wicket and nails the yorker at the toes. It tails back in as Jos tries to get his bat down hurriedly. He is beaten on the inside edge, and the ball deflects off his boot onto the leg stump. End of a 43-run opening stand.
