Pants then joined Ravichandran Ashwin who was also sent by NGIs after being trapped by Marco Jensen only 7 Run.
Ashwin’s dismissal was followed by Shardul Thakur’s goal for 5 runs, with total India on 170/7.
Then, Kagiso Rabada returned and sent Umesh Yadav back to the pavilion, without letting him open his account.
