Another wrong 'un and Seifert decides to take it on, he kneels down and looks to slog sweep, but the googly always bounces more, takes the top-edge and goes straight up, Ishan backtracks from mid-wicket and hangs on with the help of his chest, tumbles on his back and still manages to keep control of the ball.

Hardik Pandya to Seifert, no run, wow! That's taken Seifert by surprise. Back of a length delivery, pounded hard into the surface and the ball rears up viciously, Seifert fends it off the glove and the ball drops down into the off-side. He did well to soften the grip and allow the ball to hit him
