Niroshan Dickwella c Rishabh Pant b Prasidh Krishna

Prasidh Krishna to Niroshan Dickwella, out Caught by Rishabh Pant!! Prasidh Krishna breaks the 146-run partnership! Good length ball that goes away with the angle.

41.2
Ravindra Jadeja to Niroshan Dickwella, no run, blocked
41.1
Ravindra Jadeja to Niroshan Dickwella, no run, Jadeja very optimistic for LBW. These bowlers, they always think everything is out, don't they! Dickwella was down the track to flick this flighted delivery, missed and got hit on the pad. Even the impact looked iffy real-time. DRS confirms impact marginally in line with leg stump and missing the sticks by a mile. Jadeja is bowling round the wicket so it's got to be pretty straight for the finger to go up
40.3
Kuldeep Yadav to Niroshan Dickwella, 1 run, full and down the leg-side, Dickwella wrists it to short fine leg. He was slow to take off so the throw goes to the bowler's end, but nothing interesting there

Kuldeep Yadav to Niroshan Dickwella, 1 run, top edgeeee but safe! Dickwella goes for the sweep, is so lucky that it fell to the left of the short fine leg fielder. Friendly bump into the each other by the batter and the bowler while completing the run
38.3
Kuldeep Yadav to Niroshan Dickwella, no run, now he draws him forward and spins it past the outside edge. Dickwella has no clue how to handle Kuldeep Yadav
38.2

35.5

35.4

Ravindra Jadeja to Niroshan Dickwella, no run, actually turned out to be a tighter review than it looked to the naked eye. Jadeja got sharp turn so it looked like the ball was spinning too much, but it had also bounced and ball-tracker showed ball bouncing over the leg stump. India lose their second review.

31.5
Manav Suthar to Niroshan Dickwella, no run, Suthar with a massive LBW appeal, but the impact seems outside off. Flatter and keeps it around off, as it turns in sharply and pins the batter on the front pad. Dickwella is beaten on the inside edge after he had moved across. The umpire doesn't give it out, and Gill goes for the review at the last second as Manav Suthar looks convinced. However, the replays show no bat involved, and it would have crashed into the leg stump, but the impact is umpire's call. Fortunately, India don't lose their second review
