no run
appeal for lbw as Uthappa plays all around a full toss. Luckily there's an inside edge and he made sure to show the ump his bat too. Just in case (which I'm not sure is allowed)

OUT
taken by long-off running in. He's deceived the batsman again, tossing it up and keeping it slow. Rana plays the line - because the ball is on leg stump - but the ball turns away from him, takes the top edge and is then caught very very well by Agarwal racing forward from the edge of the boundary to almost the 30-yard ...

lashes it behind point. This is ball-striking of the highest quality. No premeditation. Superb balance at the crease. And all round the park. Take this shot: it's a length ball outside off, the kind they let go in Test cricket, but he steps forward and plays the most glorious square drive
