Tendulkar's son tries bowling through cramp, sends down two full bungers before quitting

A source of confusion and controversy for much of the Ashes, the DRS was again dominating discussion early in the one-day series between Australia and England.
A pair of controversial decision review system calls provided talking points after England won the toss and sent Australia in to bat in the second match of the five-game series at Old Trafford on Sunday.
Shane Watson, a player who struggled to come to terms with the system during the Ashes, was at the centre of the DRS drama.
He used the system to have a decision overturned after being given out lbw first ball, but was then on the end of a successful England challenge to be dismissed for 38.
Both reviews took several minutes and could have gone either way, creating a further sense of confusion and frustration among commentators and fans on social media.
A ball after opener Shaun Marsh had been dismissed in the first over, Watson was given out lbw by umpire Richard Kettleborough after being trapped in front by Steve Finn.
Watson looked angered by the decision and quickly challenged it.
It turned out to be the right move, but only after an agonising five-minute wait.
Despite Hot Spot replays being inconclusive as to whether Watson got bat on ball before it hit his pads, the decision was overturned by third umpire Aleem Dar.
But while DRS gave Watson a second chance it ultimately brought about his downfall in the 13th over.
Kettleborough ruled not out despite a convincing England appeal that Watson had been caught behind off Ravi Bopara.
A lengthy review ensued again, and Watson this time was given out on the basis of audio, with no evidence on Hot Spot to suggest he hit the ball.
Both teams made it clear during the Ashes they supported DRS in principle, but were not happy with the inconsistency of decision-making.
Sunday’s match was the first played in the five-match ODI series after game one in Leeds was washed out on Friday.
