BENGALURU: Of the 80 deliveries that New Zealand pacer Matt Henry (5/15) bowled, none could be termed loose deliveries. His pace was complemented by precision and the seam and swing made him unplayable.
The M Chinnaswamy stadium on Thursday was like a paradise for seamers and the trio of Tim Southee, Henry and William O’Rourke (4/22) made the most of the conditions, leaving just two Indian batters — Rishabh Pant (20) and Yashasvi Jaiswal (13) — with double-digit scores.
