A Zampa to V Kohli, OUT! The Indian skipper is out of here! Zampa strikes in his second over. The Australians are pumped up and why not? Kohli wanted to go after the leg spinner and falls in the process. Zampa tosses it up on middle, Kohli uses his feet but gets a little too close to the ball. Hence, he does not manage to get the desired elevation and hits it straight down the throat of Nathan Coulter-Nile who takes it.
