34th over: India 143-6 (Jadeja 9, Washington 7) Ooh, nick! Boland first ball, as is his wont. But Washington gets it to ground in front of Webster in the cordon, no small feat when Webster’s arms are so long he could basically tap the batter on the shoulder from there. The next five balls, survived, and that’s a feat: Boland’s first 12 balls are historically his most dangerous.
33rd over: India 143-6 (Jadeja 9, Washington 7) Cummins starts off, and Jadeja pinches a single immediately. Washington pinches a bit of luck! Parries a ball in the air towards square leg, and Konstas might have got that if he’d dived forward. Instead he stays back expecting it to carry. Washington gets the next ball past Konstas for a run.
