17.6: Navdeep Saini to Varun Chakravarthy, NOT OUT. After numerous angles, the third umpire is finally convinced that the ball hit the ground. A low full toss, Chakravarthy flicked it through mid-wicket where Virat Kohli acrobatically flung himself to his left at short mid-wicket. He took the catch but then smiled and said that he was not sure whether it was a catch. Saini was pretty much convinced that it was not and was happy trudging off. But the umpires referred it upstairs and one replay did show the ball going in but then dropping down.

17.5: Navdeep Saini to Varun Chakravarthy, WIDE. Way down the leg side but that is because Saini is following the batsman who keeps backing away. However, this is a mile down and de Villiers does really well to dive to his left to stop the ball.

19.3: Andre Russell to AB de Villiers, Safe as a house, is the horse in its stable. A wide slower ball, outside off, on the Free Hit, ABD reaches out and carves it over cover-point. He turns blind for the second and the fielder returns a decent throw to the keeper as well. Karthik breaks the stumps as well and appeals. It is referred upstairs but replays show that AB is well in.
