Maiden Test assignments hardly come tougher than a berth in the top order in India.
Debuting in a pressure-cooker series against a bowling attack including the likes of Ravichandran Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja and Mohammad Shami would be enough to test even the most hard-nosed county pro.
But Haseeb Hameed was more than up to the challenge.

Relive the moment Hameed reached his first Test fifty above.
