On Day 5 the second Test, England needed 536 runs to win but India bowlers did not give even a single opportunity to the hosts to dominate. However, when England were eight wickets down, spinner Ravindra Jadeja was denied the wicket of Brydon Carse as KL Rahul missed a catch.
The incident took place on the third delivery of the 57th over, when Jadeja's spin delivery left Carse bamboozled. The ball landed on a length outside the leg stump and found the thick edge of the bat before travelling to Rahul.
Rahul, who ws placed at the first slip, failed to grab the opportunity as Carse survived a close call. However, the replay then showed that Rahul was actually setting up the field at that time and was not ready for the ball.
