Hardik serves a short ball on middle, Watson tries to pull it but fails to middle his shot properly. It probably goes off his gloves towards square leg and they cross.

His eyes are off the ball as it sails over him, going very closely past his gloves. Quinton de Kock collects the ball and tosses it up in celebration. The bowler also turns in appeal and the finger has his finger up. Raina is quick to take the DRS and the Ultra Edge finds nothing.
6.3 McClenaghan to Raina, wide
6.2 McClenaghan to Watson,Slower length ball on off, angling away at 117 kph, Watson stays back footed and dabs it down past backward point to third man. He jogs across to the other end for a single.
