India review. Sai Sudharsan is claiming a catch at short leg, he's adamant there's some bat on this and Gill, almost reluctantly, goes upstairs

Jadeja to Stokes, no run, review lost! Poor review from India, Gill wasn't sure about this, Sai Sudharsan was the only man convinced and Gill went by the former's insticts. Loud cheer from the crowd as soon as the first replays come up, came right off his forearm. Good length delivery outside off, exploded off the deck again as Stokes leant across attempting a reverse-sweep, lobbed off his forearm and went straight to Sai at short leg. UltraEdge confirms that there's no bat although it was quite close to the toe end. India have just one review left

Jadeja to Root, no run, wow! Phew. Gill is shocked at the ball-tracking. India now have no reviews left. This is how Root used to get out to Jadeja in India. Misses the slider, rapped on the pads in front of middle and leg, ball-tracking shows it to be missing the stumps, going over. Was that bouncing so much? Gill and the Indians can't quite believe their eyes as they watch it on the big screen. Umpire Gaffaney shook his head even as Jadeja kept appealing, he convinced Gill to go for it. With the impact around the kneeroll, hard to see that bouncing so high - especially from a good length area, but that's what ball-tracking shows
Turned down by umpire Chris Gaffaney. India review. No bat. Missing

Jadeja to Root, 3 runs, Jadeja is livid with Shardul at mid-on. And rightly so. Flicked to his right and he overruns the ball and slips, the ball slips away to his left and he takes his own time to get up, that's what angers Jadeja, who screams at Shardul, Root is aware and they pinch three

Jadeja to Stokes, no run, Pant had no idea where the ball was! Off the glove and on to the right arm, it lobs up in the air and KL is late to pick it as well, watches it fall tantalisingly short. Was a golden chance to get Stokes, he goes for the reverse-sweep and it's off the glove and then off the arm

Jadeja to Root, FOUR, bad bounce for Karun at backward point and that won't please Jadeja at all. Tossed up full outside off, Root gets forward and opens the face of the bat, it seemed to be a fairly straightforward stop until it hit a part of the turf and bounced awkwardly, slips away and goes for four. Karun shakes his head

Prasidh to Stokes, FOUR, Stokes on the charge. He comes down the track and then sees the full delivery outside off, he belts it through cover and it races away to the fence, did not hold back at all

66.3
Prasidh to Stokes, FOUR, luck with Stokes now. His mouth goes into an O shape. On a length outside off, Stokes opens the face of the bat and guides it

Jadeja to Stokes, out Caught by Gill!! Stokes falls to the reverse-sweep. He wanted to play only one way against Jadeja, perishes. It's slower and fuller outside off, into the footholes, Stokes goes for the reverse-sweep and it's a top-edge and a simple catch to short third. Gill is elated after taking that. Another twist in this game? The field was strengthened before this ball for that reverse-sweep and Stokes gets out immediately

Stokes c Gill b Jadeja 33(51) [4s-4]

Stokes playing the reverse-sweep vs Jadeja in this innings: 8 off 16 and the dismissal.
