Long chat with Cummins first though.
Lyon, at over 90kph, forces Axar to defend off his toes.
Good running! Two out to wide mid on, Axar wanted two, Siraj heeded his call and ran hard to get him, with the dive as well. Top cricket. Siraj lost his glove there too I think.
Axar pushes to mid on, no run.
Solid defence from Axar, he’ll only look to score on the bad balls. He’s getting close to a maiden Test ton, so may start to cramp up a bit.
He cuts hard forward of square and it’s short cover where the fielder makes the stop.
Now he pushes to cover for no run.
Axar is on 84, SIraj yet to score from his 18 deliveries, India 9-399.
