Trying to analyze the no ball rule. Or the REVISED no ball rule. Murali Kartik explains to us very efficiently about the technicalities. Earlier, the landing of the foot was looked into only when the bowler was releasing the ball. However, as per the new rules, the landing of the foot is only checked, irrespective of the ball release. So the cameras show us replays of the Jadeja no ball. He lands his foot with his heel over the line. Fair. NO BALL. But he has not released the ball! And when he does let go of the cherry, the heel is back in the crease. So, what Murali Kartik is trying to tell us is - this rule is plainly for the fast bowlers as it is practically impossible to delay your delivery while bowling fast and landing your foot. But while adjusting to the faster men, the spinners are facing the brunt of the rule. Tough luck.

Score129 - 4

R Jadeja to S Brooks, OUT! CAUGHT! No wait... it is a NO BALL! Brooks survives to see another day. Just the luck a batter who is short of runs would have wanted. Jadeja is annoyed and rightly so. He bowls an excellent delivery. It lands on middle and it is flatter. Brooks goes back and looks to defend but the ball turns away. Hits the outside edge of Brooks' bat and goes to first slip where the fielder makes no mistake. Brooks starts walking back but is stopped by the umpire as they want to check the front foot. Replays show that it is over.

Shami to Blackwood, DROPPED! A half-chance you could say. A good attempt though by Shami. It is a fuller delivery on off, Blackwood drives this hard straight back towards the bowler. Shami sticks his left hand out but is unable to hold on to it. The ball goes to mid off and the batters takes a single. That had to stick but it does not.

M Shami to Blackwood, Another shout for LBW but it has been turned down and a review has been taken. It is a good length delivery on middle and leg, Jermaine looks to flick once again but gets hit on the pads. There is an appeal for LBW but the umpire is unmoved. Kohli goes a review. The replays roll in and Ultra Edge shows that the ball hit the inside edge off Blackwood's bat. India lose both of their reviews.
