In between, there was one moment where Prithvi Shaw was run out in a irregular manner. J Suchith was bowling to Rishabh Pant, who came down the track to hit him. But, it was a quick delivery and he missed the ball as it went to the wicket keeper. But, Jonny Bairstow also missed the ball as it hit his gloves and went towards short fine leg.
The fielder at short fine leg, quickly picked the ball up and threw the ball to the bowler. By then, Shaw was out of the crease in hope of a single and he was run out. It was quite unusual for a batsman to be run out, in this way.
