Leg bye! Stifled appeal and nothing more. This is a bit fuller and angled into the pads, Miller looks to flick but misses. The ball hits him on the pads and rolls onto the off side. They get a leg bye.

Harshal Patel to Heinrich Klaasen
OUT! CAUGHT! A masterclass innings from Heinrich Klaasen comes to an end! Harshal Patel grabs a wicket and India have finally managed to get a breakthrough. A slower length ball, around middle. Heinrich Klaasen tries to finish things off as he tries to go over long on. But the ball goes off the top half of the bat and hence there is only elevation on that and no distance. Ravi Bishnoi (sub) sits under it and takes an easy catch. Job done from Heinrich Klaasen!
