It was catching practice for Keegan Petersen as Shardul Thakur guided a nothing ball to him in gully. The loosener was short and stopped a bit on Thakur who tried to steer it square in the point region but ended up offering a sitter. India were 157/7 when the soft dismissal transpired, although R Ashwin has blended caution with aggression to steer India to safer waters ever since. The all-rounder, who has five Test centuries to his name, is currently batting on 44 off 45 balls, holding the fort for India even as wickets tumble around him.
Jansen gets his third ☝️
