Zampa to Abhishek Sharma, out Caught by Tim David!! Zampa strikes! He breaks the partnership and Abhishek holes out in the deep. He never got going today and wanted to take on Zampa straightaway. But this is smartly bowled. Slows it up, 82.2ks tossed up delivery and Abhishek manages to get under it, but does not generate enough power or distance, David takes it low near long-on.

That's taken Abhishek by surprise. 131ks short of length delivery and rears up viciously, Abhishek was not ready for it, he tries to fend it away but the ball gets big on him, hits him on the left shoulder and deflects onto the under side of the helmet.
