Ishant comes back into the attack, replacing Bumrah. The second ball comes in sharply and hits him on the body before he inside edges the last ball for a single on the leg side.

Ashwin resumes after the drinks break. Handscomb turns the first ball on the leg side and Marsh confidently defends the rest of the over.

Handscomb having some problems with the incoming deliveries as he gets a thick inside edge off Ishant for two runs on the leg side and then takes one to square leg.

In the next over, Handscomb clips Ashwin straight into Rahul at short leg, who barely has time to react as it goes through him.

Marsh plays a lovely cover drive off Ashwin for his second boundary as he makes most of some width from the off-spinner.
