Is that a run-out? The umpires have gone upstairs to have a look. Ravindra Jadeja scores a direct hit at the batter's end but the Indians don't look overly excited. The replays roll in and the third umpire concludes that Nizakat Khan's bat was on the line and no part of it was inside the crease when the bails came off. The decision on the big screen is OUT!
