#1 When Khurram Manzoor was given not out
Ashish Nehra started well and had got into a rhythm which is why Khurram Manzoor felt the need to do something to unsettle him. In the 5th over of the Pakistani innings, Manzoor went down on his knees and tried an ambitious scoop shot on the leg side.
But in an almost Misbah-esque moment, he ended up nicking the ball and the Indians started celebrating. Most of the Indian fielders had gone up in unison and Nehra and Dhoni gasped in disbelief as the umpire stayed unmoved.
The moment led to high drama as Virat Kohli was caught on camera swearing at the umpire in frustration. A visibly unhappy Kohli even had a word with the umpire at the end of the over.
In the very next over, there was a horrible mix-up between the Pakistani batsmen and Khurram Manzoor, who was at the non-striker's end, lost his bat while trying to make his way back into the crease.
A pumped up Kohli was on the ball like a hawk and hit the bull's eye with his throw to send Manzoor back to the pavilion.
