Pant looks in a lot of pain. That previous delivery smashed him on the fingertips of his left hand. He's jumping around as the physio pulls out the spray. His fingers are heavily taped up as it is, and he had needed some attention on them in the first session as well. It's taking a fair while and the rest of the Indian players use the opportunity to grab some drinks.
