3rd over: India 2-0 (Rohit 2, Gill 0) Starc to Rohit and that’s not helpful for batting. The ball hits a crack, stays low, and jags about half a metre across the batsman. From leg-stump line it beats the outside edge. Yeesh. Will Pucovski walks past the stormtroopers and gets a rowdy ovation.
Abhijato is watching from a distance. “This Test is the only thing which has managed to wake me up this early on a Saturday morning back here in India. Quite pleased with my timing too, since the openers stride out to bat now. I adore many players but none as much as Rohit Sharma. His half-ton in his previous outing showed he’s got the technique. Here’s to hoping he’s the man of the moment who proves he’s got the temperament as well!”
2nd over: India 2-0 (Rohit 2, Gill 0) Josh Hazlewood will be the circling Vulture to Mitchell Starc’s Stanley knife. Comes in to Gill and lands it on a dime, as usual. Right-armer to right-hander, if you’re trying to picture the scene. Three slips: Warner, Smith, Wade. Green in the gully. Lyon at point. Labuschagne at mid off, with cover open. Cummins at mid on. Harris at short leg wearing the fascinator. Starc grazing at fine leg. Gill draws his bat inside the line of one ball, drawing some murmurs from the fielders. Sees out the maiden over.
