WIDE! Pulls his length back but sprays it beyond the tramline on off. It swings further away on its way to the keeper, Ishan Kishan.

The substitute fielder, Rovman Powell settles under it and takes it reverse cup in front of his face.

That was close! Chahal bowls it flat and short, just outside off, Hardik Pandya shapes up for the cut but the ball is too close to play that shot. It spins away and goes past the bat.
