That's the match! • BCCI
Googly, beats the full-blooded swing down the ground and has Venkatesh stumped! It was a full ball that turned away from off and the batter had danced down the track but missed the ball. The keeper completed the dismissal and Chahal is chuffed!
Tossed up outside off stump gets the inside edge of the cover drive. Falls in front
Full ball on the legs is turned to square leg
Wide outside off on a full length is well past the tramline
Given LBW, Iyer reviews! It was a full ball that beat the whip towards deep midwicket. Iyer is walking as the Hawk-Eye's prediction comes in. It shows the ball was pitching in line and was hitting leg. Chahal knew it was out right away and roared as soon as it was given out.
Taken at long-on! A full ball outside off has Mavi reaching out and trying to heave it to the legside, but he only manages to top-edge it this steepler to Parag as he takes it at a comfortable height to have Chahal on the verge of a hat-trick.
Caught behind! He has done it! Takes the outside edge as Cummins pushes at that, Sanju with a smart grab. Chahal celebrates with a leap and a slide to take him to the jolly pose at the boundary with the elbow on the ground. The hat-trick has RR firmly on top!
