The game saw a controversial dismissal as Hardik Pandya was bowled while in the replays it was visible that Tom Latham dislodged the bails with gloves.

India started off well in their defense of a huge total of 350 as the visitors were reeling at 89/4 early on in the innings. Earlier in the match, Shubhman Gill’s double century had played a crucial role in the team’s impressive total. However, the innings also saw one of the most controversial dismissals in recent times involving Hardik Pandya and Tom Latham.
