Will Young joined Conway, but before they could settle, Harshit struck once again. This time, he dismissed Devon Conway (56 off 67). Then Mohammed Siraj dismissed Young (12 off 16 balls). After him, it was Kuldeep Yadav, who got Glenn Phillips (12 off 19). Then Prasidh Krishna joined the party and dismissed Mitchell Hay (18 runs off 13 balls) to get India their fifth wicket.
