Shubman Gill is caught by Green! What a stunning catch at gully! Gill lingers for a moment as the umpires discuss the catch and refer it to the third umpire for a clean catch review. The situation is tense. Green stretches out with his left hand, diving across to make the catch, but the force of the ball causes his hand to touch the ground.
The question arises: did he have his fingers underneath it? Unfortunately, the front camera angle isn’t ideal for determining this. The third umpire examines the footage and declares, “Fingers underneath the ball.” However, due to the limited camera angle, it’s still not entirely clear.
Nonetheless, the decision is made. “OUT” illuminates on the big screen, and Gill is dismissed. Boland strikes once again, consistently hitting a good length around off stump. Gill attempts to defend by moving forward, but the ball unexpectedly kicks up, grazing the edge of his bat.
Green at gully exhibits exceptional reflexes, displaying a remarkable effort as he swiftly moves to his left to grab the ball that was traveling low. Rohit’s expression turned furious as he witnessed the “OUT” signal illuminate on the big screen. Gill’s face mirrored surprise.

However, Australia couldn’t hide their delight in finally breaking the opening partnership that had given India a flying start. Both Rohit and Gill had approached their batting positively and seemed untroubled by the new ball until Boland unleashed one that sharply rose off a good length.
