Hardik Pandya to du Plessis, no run, outside off stump, left alone

Bumrah to de Kock, 3 runs, flicked away wide of mid-on, but wasn't convincing. Looked like Bumrah wanted to bring this back into the left-hander, de Kock plays uppishly and gets off the mark

Bumrah to du Plessis, no ball, oh dear, the bat was nowhere close to the thigh pad. Would have been a waste of a review had it been a legal delivery. This was a short of length delivery angled in, du Plessis was beaten on the flick, the ball brushed the thigh pad en route to Saha.

Bumrah to du Plessis, no run, outside off, on a length, du Plessis this time leaves

Bumrah to du Plessis, no run, missing leg. Even though du Plessis has fallen over on the flick and is down on the ground. Kettleborough is a top top umpire and he rarely gets things wrong. Very difficult for Bumrah to get lbws unless the ball straightens. This is full and sliding down, du Plessis missed the flick and lost his balance. Was a loud shout, but turned down. Anyway AB at the other end was suggesting that it was sliding down

Bumrah to du Plessis, no run, edged and a soft one. Dhawan with a dive to his right from third slip and cuts off what would've been at least two. That's two good stops he has made today in the cordon

Shami to du Plessis, no run, full outside off, du Plessis again doesn't play a shot

Shami to du Plessis, no run, full outside off, left alone

Shami to du Plessis, no run, has that carried? Kohli is unsure. He immediately asked the umpire to go upstairs. The soft signal is not out. Bounced in front of the Indian skipper. The zoomer is in and if Kohli is not sure, then definitely you can make out that it hasn't carried. Need conclusive evidence to overturn and the third umpire took his time by looking at various angles, replays and technology to rule in favor of the batsman. What a brute of a ball though. Spat at du Plessis from a back of a length, since he took the bottom hand off, it didn't carry as the soft hands did the trick. Kohli tried to get forward and cup it from the turf, but it didn't carry

Bumrah to du Plessis, no run, 143kph full delivery outside off, left alone

Bhuvneshwar to du Plessis, no run, hit on the box? Looks like it. Nips back in and du Plessis is forward to flick it away, but misses. Is now on his haunches, a couple of seconds to compose himself and he is alright

Bhuvneshwar to du Plessis, no run, good stop by Dhawan at third slip. Soft edge as du Plessis tried to steer that between third slip and gully. But Dhawan dived and cut that off. Gets pats from Kohli and Pujara

Shami to du Plessis, no run, there's life in this pitch and also in the Indians's voices. There are very chirpy. du Plessis is hit on the thigh pad by one that jagged back in appreciably. Height would've taken it over, so no real appeal but there's all sorts of chat from the slip cordon

Shami to du Plessis, no run, hits a fullish length around off, du Plessis is half-forward and blocks solidly

Shami to du Plessis, no run, this is further wide of off, holds its line, du Plessis shoulders arms

Shami to du Plessis, no run, that is a good leave. Pitches on a good length and seams in, but du Plessis had already made up his mind to leave. Does on trusting the bounce and it goes over off

Shami to du Plessis, no run, that is going down. Full on the pads, du Plessis fell over on the flick, missed and the appeal dies down pretty quickly

Shami to du Plessis, no run, pulls the length back, short of length on off, met with a dead straight bat by du Plessis

Shami to du Plessis, no run, full on off, du Plessis is nicely forward to defend that
