Southee to Jaiswal, no run, oh dear!! Almost a wicket. Fraction short of length and angling across. Jaiswal punches it on the up and gets a thick outer edge. To the left of Phillips at gully who puts out a reflexive hand and pouches that. Luckily for Jaiswal, that bounced just in front of the fielder who almost pulled off a blinder. What an entertaining first ball here!!
Jaiswal and Rohit are at the crease. Jaiswal is on strike. Southee will open the attack
Do not gentle into the good night. Rage, rage against the dying of the light. This Dylan Thomas poem has got to be the motto for the Indians are they set out to chase a historic 359 in the fourth innings on a tricky, tricky pitch. Gautam Gambhir had some very steely eyes as he gave a final message to his skipper before sending him out to bat.
