Skipper, Harry Brook walks in at number 4.

18:05 (IST) Sep 02

Has that been taken? There seems to be a certain edge but whether Ryan Rickelton had that right glove underneath the ball remains to be seen. The third umpire is called into action. First replays suggest that it is a clean catch but the third umpire is making sure that when the ball popped out, it didn't hit the ground. It seems to be close but the third umpire confirms that the ball didn't touch the ground. OUT comes up on the big screen.

However, he gets both hands on it in the second attempt and grabs it.
