When India have a world class pace bowler, preparing bunsens that nullify him as sometimes happens is a waste. It'll be interesting what the pitches in the next few games will be like.
To be fair to Hartley he does look very solid and wouldn't be the worst number 9 we've ever had. Perhaps, with the recruitment of Nathan Lyon, Lancashire will look to bat him at 7 next season with a view to turning him into an all rounder.

Think he averaged 60 odd in the county champ last season

Kiss of death - caught at slip for 21 (24) to give Gill his fourth catch and Bumrah his 5-fer
I suspect he won't do that again, ever, in his entire career. But it's painful to listen to two experienced commentators being absolutely baffled by what's going on, and then exacerbating the situation by quoting, at length, the wrong law.
Law 37.4 succinctly covers what happened. Correct decision by the umpires; embarrassing mistake by - but big learning opportunity for - the batter.
