Saqib Mahmood to Rahul, out Lbw!! Rahul has been trapped in front but he has taken the review. Did he get some bat on it? Was a yorker length ball that tailed in from middle, Rahul tried to play it across but got beaten on the inside edge to get hit on the back leg. UltraEdge shows a gap between bat and ball. Over to ball-tracking and it returns three reds - it would have gone onto crash into the leg-stump. A good cameo from Rahul. Rahul lbw b Saqib Mahmood 40(29) [4s-3 6s-1]

8.4
4

6.2
4
Saqib Mahmood to Kohli, FOUR, typical Kohli stroke! Pitched up outside off, Kohli brings his bottom hand into play and whips it in the gap between mid-wicket and mid-on for a boundary. That's the quality this man possesses. The length and line doesn't matter when he executes these strokes

That allows Kohli ample time to rush back and plonk his bat in before Salt takes the bails off
