Look who came to roll his arms, Virat Kohli. Kohli came into the attack and bowled a good one for India, giving away just 6 runs at this stage. No boundaries for Hong Kong too.

Yuzvendra Chahal to Zeeshan Ali, Shout for an lbw! Not given. Floated delivery, full and around off, spinning in, Zeeshan Ali is down the track, trying to work it around but misses. It clips his front pad and sneaks past Rohit at first slip. They cross and the umpire signals for leg byes. Now, India review the decision. UltraEdge shows that it has hit both the bat and front pad simultaneously. The third umpire feels that it's bat first. Hmm... It's given as runs now.

Yuzvendra Chahal is back to bowl his final over.
