25th over: India 76-0 (Jaiswal 35, Rahul 39) Earlier, Sai Sudharsan was seen sitting on the balcony with a book, though it wasn’t clear which one. Back in the middle, Rahul nudges a single before Jaiswal, comfortable playing aggressively on the off side, cuts hard and sends the ball over the ropes for six. A single follows, capping another strong showing from the batters, who have managed well despite some close calls.
24th over: India 68-0 (Jaiswal 28, Rahul 37) A sharp delivery from Archer rises unexpectedly, beating Rahul’s defensive push. England have repeatedly found the outside edge this morning without reward. Rahul then guides a single into the off side before Archer tests Jaiswal with an accurate line. Later, a well-directed short ball forces Jaiswal to duck awkwardly, and the ball deflects off his bat, flying over the keeper for four—an unusual shot, whether intentional or not.
23rd over: India 63-0 (Jaiswal 24, Rahul 37) A short ball is dispatched hard by Jaiswal but misses, while a full delivery is played solidly. The next one, short and wide, is slashed fiercely through point for four.
22nd over: India 59-0 (Jaiswal 20, Rahul 37) Archer returns, starting around the wicket to Jaiswal. His pace remains below what he managed earlier in the match, possibly due to the pitch offering less assistance. A single to the off side is the only run from the over.
21st over: India 58-0 (Jaiswal 19, Rahul 37) Another tight over yields no runs as the batters remain watchful.
20th over: India 58-0 (Jaiswal 19, Rahul 37) Rahul flicks one through midwicket, and the fielder's effort limits the batters to three. Jaiswal then tries a hook, getting an edge that falls short of long leg. With the partnership growing, a change in bowling may be needed soon.
