Kuldeep to bowl his final over. Pooran slaps the first ball but can't beat point before he attempts the sweep but misses out and wicketkeeper Pant fails to collect it.

Big turn for Kuldeep as Pooran is beaten outside the off-stump and he then sweeps a full toss to fine leg for one.

Kuldeep gets his line wrong as he bowls a wide down the leg side to Hope.

Hope is beaten again last ball as he struggles to read Kuldeep's variation. He plays down the wrong line to the leg-spinner and is struck right in front of the stumps.

The umpire is not interested but Kuldeep convinces his captain Kohli to take the review. But the ball is doing too much and missing the leg stump as India end up losing their review.

Just two runs from the over as Kuldeep finishes his 10 over spell, giving away just 45 runs.

Hope takes one to long-on but Pooran drives the next straight down and hits the stumps at non-striker's end.
