Cameron Green fluffed his lines わずかに at number six, guiding his first ball for four but making just two more before 運動ing airily at Mohammed Shami and spearing a sharp catch to second slip.

India continued to drag themselves 支援する into the fight, Smith’s 集中 finally wavering when he nicked Shardul Thakur 支援する into his stumps with an uncharacteristically lazy プロの/賛成のd.
