In his second over, Archer faced off against Nitish Kumar Reddy who whacked him for a couple of boundaries after trying few variations in the same over. However, it was in the 13th over against Ishan Kishan that Archer’s unravelling began.
Kishan smacked the pacer for a six over the covers to bring up fifty in just 25 balls and a ball prior, had sent him over the fence with a hook over the wicket-keeper.
After running two singles with Nitish Kumar Reddy, Kishan opened space outside off-stump and played a beautiful lofted shot over the covers for a third six and made it 21 for the over.
