36, 12*, 34, 30, 44, 7, 26, 52, 63*, 5
The right-handed Indian batsman had managed an average of 38.62 in his last 10 outings overseas. Sharma last smashed a half-century against Australia in Sydney in January 2021.
Sharma has been seen in fine touch right from the start of the innings. Earlier during the play, he smashed four fours in an over to Sam Curran’s bowling.
