The throw from the deep square leg fielder, Nathan Ellis, comes in quickly to Kuhnemann, stationed right behind the stumps at the non-striker's end. He collects cleanly and whips off the bails in one motion. Arshdeep is miles short of his crease, and the replays confirm the same.

Matt Renshaw runs in a few yards to his forward-right and tries to take a sliding catch. But, he goes with a crocodile approach to take the catch, around the chest, and spills it.

23.3: Matthew Kuhnemann to Washington Sundar, OUT! BOWLED! Matthew Kuhnemann strikes again, and this is developing into a really brilliant spell from him. From around the stumps, Kuhnemann dishes out a tossed-up delivery, on a fractionally fuller length, on the middle stump line. Washington Sundar goes for the reverse sweep, but is well deceived by the flight on the ball and attempts the shot too early. Hence, the ball grazes the glove and disturbs the timber. Washington Sundar departs for a run-a-ball 10 and India are 115/6 after 23.3 overs.
