Look: Akash brutally brutally hits Ben Docket to 2 days
The incident appeared on the first ball of the fourth over, when Akash Deep gave an angling ball from around the wicket. The delivery became straight after the pitching, and Ben Docket tried to play it towards the leg side.
In particular, the ball hit him directly in the waist, causing him to double in the discomfort that appeared. Physio was called to the field to assess the loss, while Zak Croly, standing at the end of the non-strayer, was seen surprising in the unfortunate position, including his early partner.

Ben Docket survives and then a reverse ramp six hits
On the second ball of the same over, Akash Deep assured Shubman Gill to review an LBW appeal against Ben Docket. Gill hesitated but chose for review. The ball hit and hit Duckets on the knee roll, but the ball tracking showed that it was going to stumps, reviewing India.
Deep then inspired an outer edge with Docket’s bat, but the ball died in front of the ball of the ball. It seemed that the bowler had done everything but took a wicket.
However, Duckett said that the over in classic bazball fashion finished with a reverse ramp on slip cordon for six, which led to disappointment and crowds. In the same over, all the plays attracted the attention of both fans and experts.
This ball is talking a little to Akash Deep – Michael Vaughan
Former England captain Michael Vaughan talked about England’s active mentality against the Indian bowling attack. Speaking on the BBC Test match special, he said that the team is not interested in sitting back and settling in a good rhythm.
Vaughan said that England wants to stay on the front leg and is taking initiative instead of waiting for a delivery that can dismiss them. He also mentioned that the ball was very low during the spell of Akash Deep.
Won said, “This is what England want to do. They will not sit around and will not wait to hit the decent length of India. They don’t want to wait for a ball with their names. Akash Deep is talking a little,” Vaughan said, “BBC Test Match Special.”
