However, Sanju Samson’s brilliant innings came to an end just short of a century as Will Jacks provided England with a timely breakthrough. Bowling from around the wicket, Jacks tossed one up and pushed it wide outside off, forcing Samson to reach for the inside-out drive. He failed to get the timing right and toe-ended the shot, sending the ball straight to Phil Salt at deep cover, who completed a simple catch.

Samson departed after a superb knock of 89 off 42 balls, an innings laced with eight fours and seven sixes, leaving the Wankhede crowd applauding his explosive effort.
