But the wobble-seam delivery jagged back in to take the inside edge and clattered into the stumps. For the last two balls of the 16th over, Shami ambled to the stumps and bowled well outside off at a reduced pace. "During this series, my plan was to swing the new ball and pick up early wickets.

But somewhere along the way, he ended up losing his inswinger, and once again, turned into a one-dimensional bowler. These are excellent numbers but more heartening to see was the way he operated.
