Rahane, who hasn't been in much good form of late, edged a ball off Craig Overton's bowling and Moeen Ali got his fingers underneath it and took the catch. The Indian vice-captain's departure left the side in deep trouble in their innings.
Moeen Ali on Thursday, produced an athletic effort to take a catch lowdown to his right side to dismiss Ajinkya Rahane during the first day of the fourth Test at the Oval. While some have argued that it was a very good catch, there were also people who have protested against the decision, saying that the catch wasn't clean.

'Another paltry score....'
Poor shot by Rahane, excellent catch by Moeen Ali, and India hurtling towards another paltry score. Well past first innings fiasco at Leeds, but unlikely India will get 300-something to give their bowlers something to defend

A smart low catch!
Rahane edges Overton low to third slip, where Moeen Ali takes a smart low catch. India in bother at 117-6.
