The play has been halted for a while and the reason is yet to be known. Klassen looked miffed as he gestured towards the LSG dug out. The LSG staff is having a chat with the match officials. The on-field umpires too are near the boundary rope. Seems like someone threw something at the LSG dugout. It a mess all around.

Drama unfolds at the Rajeev Gandhi stadium as a waist-high delivery from Aves was initially given a no-ball but the decision was overturned after Krunal Pandya goes for DRS. The TV umpire reckons that the batter crouched slightly crouched and thus, calls it a fair delivery.
