Shami to Henry Nicholls, out Caught by Kohli! Nicholls is waiting, because it was a rather low catch, but Kohli is absolutely pumped. He's sprinting, and he'll probably reach the dressing room before Nicholls. The soft signal is out. He's had a poke at the ball, that has straightened off the seam, gets a thick edge that dies on Kohli at the cordon who takes a low catch and takes off. It does look like it has dropped on the first look, but upon closer inspection, the fingers were always under the ball - even the illusion of the bounce, was on top of the fingers. Nicholls has to go, and India have five. This is India's session now. Their first of the Test - nay - series. Henry Nicholls c Kohli b Shami 14(27) [4s-1]
