It all happened on the first ball of Ashwin's first over of the day. Lawrence tried to take on the veteran of 76 Tests by stepping out of the crease. Ashwin saw it and drifted the ball into Lawrence as the Englishman was caught in no man's land.

Lawrence ended up missing the ball while trying to flick it. Pant took a sharp take down the leg side and swiftly dived forward to affect a Spiderman-style stumping, thus dismissing Lawrence for 26.
