SN Thakur to Dickwella, out Caught by Dhoni!! That was a superb review. Got to hand it to Dhoni for hearing something amidst all the sound the crowd are making. He was absolutely sure and went up immediately, the umpire thought it was a bluff and signalled a wide. Kohli took Dhoni's word and challenged the decision. UltraEdge shows a mark and Dickwella has to walk back. Short delivery down leg, Dickwella was attempting to help it along the way, the ball brushed the glove on the way to Dhoni. A lucky breakthrough for Thakur, but it is his first in ODIs and he will remember it for a long time. Dickwella c Dhoni b SN Thakur 14(11) [4s-3]
