Varun Chakaravarthy to Rovman Powell, no run, ooft! That was a close call. Umpire Chris Gaffaney has had an excellent game so far and he's spot on once again! Varun Chakaravarthy gets the ball to drift in from a length and traps Rovman Powell in front of middle and leg. Past the inside edge and struck him in line with middle. SKY had a long chat with his skipper and it ultimately proved to be a good review for India. Clipping outside part of leg stump - 2 reds and umpire's call on hitting.
