[Watch] Tom Hartley traps Axar Patel lbw after successful review on Day 3 of IND vs ENG Vizag Test
England's left-arm spinner Tom Hartley dismissed Indian all-rounder Axar Patel leg before wicket by trapping him in front of stumps on Day 3 in Vizag on Sunday (February 4).
That came as England took a successful review. With the dismissal, Patel failed to score big despite getting a good start, scoring 45 runs off 84 balls, including six boundaries. He, however, shared an 89-run partnership with centurion Shubman Gill for the fifth wicket as India extended their lead past 350.
The dismissal came during the 60th over of India’s second innings. Hartley bowled a full-length ball that stayed low and Patel missed it while trying to tuck it down the leg side. He was struck in front of the middle stump. The umpires gave it not out, which was overturned after a successful review as the ball tracker showed three reds.
Watch the dismissal below:
Axar Patel had scored 44 and 17 in the opening Test against England in Hyderabad, which India lost by 28 runs.
