Over 39.2 U Yadav bowls a short and rising delivery to NLTC Perera, CAUGHT, Perera pulls it flat in the air towards Ishant at long on who claims to have taken a low catch but he seems to have also hurt his hand. The Umpires need to check if that was a clean catch or not. Replays show that Ishant had misjudged the catch but he did well to get his fingers wrapped underneath the ball cleanly. So Perera is out. And with that India win this 1st ODI by 169 runs. |
