One delivery, he would step out to David Willey and cudgel him straight onto the sight-screen, the next ball he would hunker down on his knees and paddle him behind. Perhaps he was reliving his magisterial 83 off 44 balls against South Africa, which, but for Virat Kohli's stupefying effort in Mohali, would have easily been the knock of the tournament so far.
