Akshar, the captain of the first innings, finished the first innings, he started the second innings and bowled England’s highest-scoring opener, Jack Crawley, in the first innings. After this, when Akshar was about to celebrate his first Test hat-trick, when Johnny Bierstowe LBW was dismissed in the second delivery, the third umpire declared Bierstowe as a note of criticism, though Akshar threw Bairstow in the third delivery.
Dominic Sibley and skipper Joe Root were promoted after the two top-order batsmen returned to the pavilion at zero, but fell victim to Akshar’s spin. Sibley is the third victim of the letter. He was caught by wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant and returned to the pavilion after scoring seven runs. Veteran all-rounder Ben Stokes then began to form a partnership with Captain Root.
