Oh, that one’s going to hurt. Ayush Mhatre, after bossing it with 80 off 90 – 14 gorgeous fours and a six in the mix, is trapped plumb in front by AM French. No hesitation from the umpire, finger goes up in a flash.

Ayush was in total control, timing everything like a dream, but French sneaks one in that skids on and catches him on the back foot. He’s gone LBW and walks off slowly, head down, the kind of knock that deserved three figures, but it ends just short.

Massive moment in the match.

After 123 balls, 19 crisp fours, and 3 big sixes, the anchor of India’s innings walks back. The applause rings loud, but the worry’s louder – India just can’t seem to stitch together a solid partnership, and the pressure is beginning to mount again.

This is turning into a serious collapse, wickets tumbling, no partnerships sticking, and India looking rattled at Chelmsford.
