Nishant Sindhu to Abdullah Ahmadzai, out Caught by Priyansh Arya!! A catch is being claimed at long-on - the Indians look confident and the 3rd umpire will have a look - tossed up on off and Abdullah Ahmadzai clouted it down towards long-on. The fielder (Priyansh Arya) in the deep was right in front of the ropes, he stays sideways, completes the catch, realises that he going over - so, he lobs the ball up, composes himself and comes back to complete the catch. But did he release the ball in time? This is extremely tight, will the batter get the benefit of doubt? The 3rd umpire is looking at several angles, but none of them are conclusive. There's no advertisement skirtings on the ropes and it's very difficult to decipher whether the fielder's right foot touched the ropes. He did look very confident though and was already celebrating - the third umpire is happy with what he saw and the red light flashes - Abdullah Ahmadzai is OUT. Priyansh Arya was the fielder and he's done a superb job here. Abdullah Ahmadzai c Priyansh Arya b Nishant Sindhu 6(4) [4s-1]
