U Yadav to Nabi, OUT! It is hitting the leg stump! Did not see that coming but credit to India, excellent use of the review. Umesh bowls it on middle and lands it on a length. Nabi tries to flick but misses to get hit on the pads. The ball rolls towards square leg and the batsmen go for a run. The Indians are appealing but the umpire shakes his head. Rahane after a chat with his teammates goes for the review. They take it upstairs and replays show three reds. The hosts are seen circling around Karthik and it maybe him who wanted the review to be taken. Nabi has been given his marching orders. His promotion up the order does not work and India are now just 7 wickets away.

Howzat? Not out is the answer to that question. The LBW decision has been challenged. Looks like it is going down leg.

U Yadav to Shahzad, OUT! EDGED AND TAKEN! Umesh Yadav draws first blood. Goes fuller this time on off, this one swings away a touch. Shahzad with no footwork at all, tries to drive it down the ground. He does not account for the away movement and the ball kisses the outside edge and goes into the mitts of Karthik. The players appeal and the umpire raises his finger. Shahzad starts walking back cheaply, again.
