Alex Hales walks back after falling to Ravindra Jadeja, thanks mainly to a sensational catch by Ajinkya Rahane in the deep. Hales slammed 40 off 25 balls.

Rahane's catch was applauded by the Indian fielders, who realised the importance of Hales' wicket in the context of the game.

Ravichandran Ashwin and Karn Sharma were on collision course, leading to a dropped catch by the former.
