A nothing shot frrom Athanaze, this was full and this was wide of off - too tempting for the left-hander and he couldn't resist the big drive, went so with hard hands and the edge was gobbled up by KL, moving to his left at second slip. Looking all too easy for India at the moment, first morning of a home Test, asked to bowl and they've grabbed four wickets with the spinners haven't still bowled a ball.

You can't be letting a ball go alone and then watch your middle-stump sent cart-wheeling, it's another big inswinger from Siraj, jags back in sharply and you'd be surprised that a batter let it go by without offering a shot.
