Overs7.5
Score80 - 1

S Dube to M Guptill, OUT! Caught! Dube strikes and it's a sharp catch from Rohit. Dube bowls a shorter one on the body. Guptill goes for the pull but does not time it well as the ball bounces extra. It goes towards Rohit Sharma who is stationed at deep square leg. He takes the catch well but his balance is not there. He realizes that and lobs the ball in the air and returns to pouch it easily. The umpires refer it upstairs and the replays roll in and show that Rohit did touch the ropes there but he had lobbed the ball in the air during that time which means Guptill needs to keep walking. Brilliant from Dube as he was hit for a boundary on the very first ball of the over but he has broken the threatening stand.
