Haris returns to the attack, can he redeem himself after his previous over?

Coach Hesson has instructed the express pacer to keep it outside the off-stump, but he’s taken it a bit too literally — bowling a huge wide!

Just when Pakistan needed Haris to keep his head, he loses it and perhaps the match is also done. Haris had given seven runs off the first five deliveries but then gave a freebie to Dube with a low full toss that was dispatched for six. India need 17 off the last two overs.

India - 130-4
