19.6: Avesh Khan to Dion Myers, A huge appeal for LBW but it is clearly going way down the leg side. As expected, 'No' says the umpire. However, just for the formalities' sake, Avesh sends it upstairs. Avesh spears in a yorker right on the base of the front boot. Myers tries to flick it away but misses. The ball pings on his boot and deflects before running down to deep fine. UltraEdge shows nothing but the Ball Tracking confirms that the ball and sliding down the leg side big time. NOT OUT. INDIA WIN BY 23 RUNS AND TAKE THE LEAD BY 2-1 IN THE SERIES.
