The next ball is trifle short as AB rocks back quickly and pulls it through midwicket for another boundary as Archer messes up on the midwicket boundary as the duo bring up the 50-run stand from 27 balls.

Parthiv then gets a leading edge which falls safely for a single to long-off followed by another run as Sodhi goes for 11.

Gopal makes the breakthrough in the next over as Parthiv is beaten by one which skids through and is stumped courtesy of some quick glovework by Klaasen.
