Kohli fails with the bat, India lose 3rd wicket
July 26, 2017  15:23


India 292-3 (58 ovs) vs SL | Scorecard

Captain Herath starts off proceedings after the tea break. Pujara takes a single on the leg side for the only run of the over. In the next over, Kohli goes after a short delivery from Pradeep but is beaten as the Sri Lankans go up in appeal for a catch down the leg side.

The slow motion replays shows that the ball has clearly brushed the top edge of the bat before it went through to the keeper. The Ultra Edge also shows a bit of spike at the moment the ball passes the top edge of the bat.

So the third umpire rules it out caught behind as Kohli walks back for three.

Interestingly, the West Indies bowlers gave Kohli a lot of problems during the limited overs series with the short balls and Sri Lanka have taken a cue from it.

In the next over, Pujara comes down and whips Herath through midwicket for a four and then takes a single to take his score into the 80s.
