Rishabh Pant told the media at the post-match press conference after the end of Day 1: “Yeah, just before stumps. I think they had a little chit-chat; they wanted to waste some time. I feel that's the reason Sam had a conversation with Jassi, he said something, I didn't hear. But I feel that's the only thing that he wanted to do, to just wait some time so we don't bowl one more over.”
