P Chawla to D Hooda, Appeal for an lbw, not given. Googly landing outside off, Hooda walks forward and across to work it away but is hit on the pads. The impact seems outside off and hence the appeal is not upheld. They take a leg bye.
Deepak Hooda is the new batsman.
P Chawla to W Saha, OUT! Saha is gone! Chawla gets his first wicket. A tossed up ball on middle, a googly, turning into the batsman who gets forward to flick but it takes the inside edge and clips his thigh pad before going behind. In the process, Saha leaves his crease also and DK is quick to break the stumps. They appeal, the square leg umpire has his finger raised but the Kolkata skipper is not sure whether he has done the stumping properly or not. He wants it to be checked and it's referred upstairs. Replays show - Karthik collects the ball low to his left and then tries to break the stumps. However, the ball is not cleanly in his gloves as he does so. A tight call, the third umpire watches multiple replays and then flashes OUT on the giant screen. At one point in time, it appeared that Karthik was in touch with the ball and the stumps at the same time. A huge cheer from the Eden crowd as Hyderabad lose their third wicket.
Appeal for a stumping, the square leg umpire has his finger raised but Dinesh Karthik is not sure whether he has done it cleanly. Wants it to be checked. Good sportsman spirit shown by him. Let's see what happens...

K Yadav to W Saha, Not out! A very full ball around leg, Saha tries to sweep but fails to middle his shot. The keeper and the bowler think that it has hit him on the pads and appeal vociferously. The umpire, however, remains unmoved. Now, they challenge the decision. The replays roll in and they show that it has hit Saha flush on the bat. Kolkata lose their review.
Appeal for an lbw! Not given and Kolkata opt for the DRS.
Strategic break time! After a watchful start, Hyderabad have lost a couple of quick wickets and are in a bit of trouble. Although, in Saha and Shakib, they have a couple of very good batsmen of spin in the middle and they would hope that this pair take their innings forward without any hiccups.
P Krishna to Al Hasan, Straighter in line, Shakib tries to defend from the crease but gets an inside edge onto the pads. It deflects in the gap on the off side and they cross. Krishna gets to the ball, has a shy at the non-striker's end but misses. They cross for an overthrow also.
