Sarwate’s delivery slides on with the angle and beats Musheer’s bat. Sarwate is convinced he has his man. Wadkar too agrees and goes up for a review. The angle is a little too much and is taking the ball down the leg stump, says the ball tracker. Another review lost for Vidarbha.

A DRS scare for Rahane. Umesh troubles him by bringing the ball in to the right-hander. On the third ball, Vidarbha is convinced he is plumb in front. But the umpire denies and a review is take.
