As Jadeja took a single, Nitish Kumar Reddy faced the third ball, which was on the off stump. Reddy defended the 92.0 mph (148.06 kmph) well and prepared for another fiery delivery. The fourth ball of the over was deadly too, as Archer bowled a short delivery at 90.5 mph (145.64 kmph), well ducked by the young batter.
