Marcus Stoinis came to the crease at the fall of KL Rahul’s wicket and started well by hitting Andre Russell for two boundaries. He was on 10 off 5 balls and was facing Varun Chakravarthy in the 12th over when he inside-edged a sharp turning delivery onto his pads.
Keeper Phil Salt reacted cooly and quickly to the catch, and snaffled it one-handed towards his right.
