On the fourth ball of the over, Moeen Ali played a cut short and sensed there was a single and hence started running right after playing the shot. But he did not spot Prabhudesai who made a full-stretch dive to his right to stop the ball and then threw it to the wicketkeeper who dislodged the bails. Ali was halfway down the pitch and could only see his stumps being rattled by Dinesh Karthik.
