Ravi Bishnoi to Keemo Paul
NOT OUT! Keemo Paul reacts quickly to get back in the crease. Nonetheless, it was a valiant effort by Pant behind the sticks. Ravi Bishnoi sess the batter charge down the track and fires it way down leg. Rishabh Pant moves to his left, but as soon as he gathers the ball, he looses his footing but still manages to get the bails off with a dive towards the stumps. This could be close. The umpire takes it upstairs and it is confirmed that Paul is safe. The umpire though signals a wide.

Ravi Bishnoi to Keemo Paul
Wild swing! This is floated up well outside off and it is the googly. Keemo Paul gets low and looks to slog it away but he goes a bit too hard at it and misses. Pant takes off the bails and seems interested. Rishabh Pant from behind the sticks pleads to the square leg umpire and it is taken upstairs. The replay shows that Paul has his back leg rooted just inside the crease so it will be NOT OUT.

Arshdeep Singh to Akeal Hosein
OUT! TIMBER! Arshdeep Singh comes over the wicket for the left-hander and it certainly does the trick. Singh serves a yorker, around off, tailing in.
