Wasim Jaffer used a picture of a pant and a Wagon R car to highlight the ongoing duel between Rishabh Pant and Neil Wagner at the Hampshire Bowl.
The Indian wicket-keeper batsman tried to launch a counter-attack against the Kiwi fast bowler to ease the pressure on his side on Day 6. While Pant managed to find a couple of boundaries, Wagner missed the timber by a whisker on a few occasions.

After a decent start from the overnight Indian batters, Kyle Jamieson was back to haunt Virat Kohli and Cheteshwar Pujara. He missed Kohli's edge a few times before the Indian skipper knicked one to BJ Watling. Pujara also followed suit, leaving India in deep trouble at 72/4.
Pujara's dismissal brought Rishabh Pant into the middle, who tried to play some aggressive cricket to take the pressure off the Indian team. Ajinkya Rahane also started to cut loose before throwing away his wicket. The delivery was down the leg and the Indian vice-captain glanced it to the Kiwi wicket-keeper.
The onus is now on Rishabh Pant and Ravindra Jadeja to bail India out in the final. They crossed the first hurdle take India to lunch without sustaining any further damage. Team India are currently at 130/5, with a second innings lead of 98 runs.
