That looks clearly out, but the third umpire Virender Sharma wants the other side's camera angle too, but it looks like it's 13/14 for Ajaz. No doubt in my mind.

43.2
Ajaz Patel to Kohli, no run, appeal for LBW and New Zealand have reviewed, they think this is pad first, almost a replica of the first-innings dismissal, but this time around, the inside edge is clearly visible first and then ricochets onto the front-pad. NOT OUT is the call and New Zealand lose a review. This was nicely tossed up on off and a hesitant Kohli wasn't fully forward on the defensive prod

35.5
Ajaz Patel to Pujara, out Caught by Ross Taylor!! Pujara has been caught at slip, Ross Taylor is claiming it, but the third umpire is having a look - think it has gone straight into his palms, but the issue for the third umpire is that Taylor's shadow is obscuring a perfect vision. He's having several more looks, umpire Virender Sharma. He now wants a split screen even as Kohli waits on the boundary edge. The split screen isn't helping things one bit - as the slow-mo visuals seem to be very hazy. He decides that the fingers are underneath the ball and it has carried through - OUT is the call. A fair decision in the end, Pujara seemed to be happy to go initially as well, 12 out of 12 for Ajaz - he's having a ball in Wankhede. Nicely tossed up on off, slower through the air and spinning just enough to catch Pujara's edge as he pressed forward, he did play with soft hands, but the ball just about carried to Taylor at slip.
