Ngidi to Brevis, out Lbw!! No timer shown on the screen. And by the time Brevis tries to review, Nitin Menon says the clock has run out. This will be controversial. This is a poor decision from umpire Nitin Menon. A high full-toss and sliding down leg, Brevis flicks and misses, rapped on the pads, easily missing leg-stump. But given out onfield. Brevis took his time as he checked with Jadeja and that cost him time. But still there was no timer shown on screen. Even Jadeja was having a look at the giant screen as he chatted with Brevis. A direct-hit too at the bowler's end but Brevis was in. Ngidi is pumped as he does the double fist-pump. Kohli was the first to get in Menon's ear before David had a few friendly words with Jadeja. Finally Menon asks Brevis to walk. Missing 5th leg-stump as HawkEye is in. Brevis lbw b Ngidi 0(1)
Ngidi to Ayush Mhatre, out Caught by Krunal Pandya!! The stand is broken. The safe hands of Krunal at deep mid-wicket. No 100 for Ayush Mhatre. It's a slower-ball off-cutter full outside off, he slogs and does not get the elevation, picks out Krunal who takes a pressure catch. Mhatre deserved a 100 but not to be. A standing ovation for Mhatre from the CSK dugout. Ayush Mhatre c Krunal Pandya b Ngidi 94(48) [4s-9 6s-5]
