7.3Kuldeep Yadav to de Kock, no run, looks for a reverse sweep and misses! Kuldeep Yadav walks up to Pant and has a chat, they decide to take it upstairs. Was there bat/glove involved? Looks like it. The telly umpire doesn't need an UltraEdge either. Too easy. QDK looked to clear short third but it lobbed off the glove and dropped short of Warner running to his left
