J Bumrah to Blundell
OUT! BOWLED! India are not going down without a fight. Bumrah roars in delight there. He was the one who was constantly asking questions at the batters and finally he gets the reward. It is bowled on a length and on off, It is a nip backer as Blundell looks to defend it leaving a big gap between his bat and pad. The ball sneaks through that gap and hits the top of off pole to send it for a cartwheel. The umpire stops the batter as they check for the no ball. The replays roll in and it shows that Bumrah has some part of his heel behind the popping crease. The third umpire to be completely sure sees the replay a few more times and then gives the marching orders for Blundell.

Jadeja to Nicholls
NO BALL! Jadeja has overstepped here. He bowls it flatter and outside off, Nicholls goes for the cut but fails to do so as the keeper collects it and appeals. The bowler and the keeper looks the most excited of the lot but the umpire is unmoved. Kohli takes the review and the replays roll in. Hang on folks! Jadeja has overstepped here.
