A huge, huge appeal and finally the finger goes up. Rinku Singh though reviews it immediately. This looked like the slider from Qais Ahmad, bowled at 92 clicks on a nagging length around middle and leg and just coming on. Rinku Singh looks to lean forward and bit and work it leg side but the ball turns in a touch and raps him on the pads. This one does look pretty adjacent but UltraEdge shows that there is a faint inside edge even though it looks like there is a faint gap between bat and ball. However, the third umpire concludes that there is an edge and the decision is overturned.

Half an appeal for LBW which is turned down but the bowler is much more interested. This is pitched up around the leg stump line and pushed across the stumps, Rinku Singh looks to flick it away but misses and gets a thud on the pads.
