18.6 to M Gilkes, Massive appeal and the umpire is not interested! A sandshoe crusher yorker ball on the stumps angling in, tries to hoick it across the line and hits the bottom of the back pad. Afridi wants the review straightaway. No bat is involved. And Gilkes started to walk towards the dressing room already! All three reds on ball tracking, hitting the leg stump.. 183/4

16.1 to SW Billings, Chips it to the backward point! Widish length ball slower through the air, hangs back and plays the square cut, throws his bat at it early and connects the outside part of the bat to Afridi at the edge of the circle.. 162/2
402526.25700
13.2 to SJ Konstas, Wildermuth finds the breakthrough! A shortish off-cutter length ball on the stumps, Konstas gets on top of the bounce and swings it away, hitting it flat and hard behind square. Munro comes around and slides on, grabs a brilliant catch near the ropes.. 127/1
17.2 to DA Warner, Alsop takes a screamer at deep cover! Full and overpitched ball angling away outside off, plays it inside-out and slices it in the air. Alsop sprinted quickly to his right, covering a huge amount of ground before launching into a spectacular forward diving catch.. 175/3

14.3 to HD Weibgen, dragged it onto the stumps! Bowls a widish yorker angling away wide outside off, Weibgen shuffles across early and tries to play the ramp scoop stroke, only manages to toe-end the ball and force it onto the off stump!. 115/4
19.2 to M Bryant, Bryant departs! Off-cutter ball on a length, Bryant clears the front leg and tries to tonk it over the on-side area, picks out the safe hands of Chris Green at deep midwicket. 154/6

4.4 to C Munro, soft dismissal! Wrong-un ball flighted around the fifth stump line, plays the slog sweep against the turn, connects the leading edge and a regulation catch for McAndrew at short third.. 37/1
4.6 to JD Wildermuth, Shadab Khan is breathing fire with the ball! Bowls a lovely googly ball on the stumps pitching on the off stump line and turning in sharply. Wildermuth gets down on one knee and plays the paddle sweep, goes through bat-pad and disturbs the furniture.. 38/2
12.5 to MT Renshaw, Massive wicket! Generously flighted googly ball pitching on the leg stump line and turning in, Renshaw plays the reverse sweep and plays it early, fails to connect and crashes onto the middle-off stump.. 108/3
16.3 to TP Alsop, Shadab gets his fourth scalp! Another beautifully flighted googly ball outside the off stump line, Alsop charges down the track and tries to send the ball downtown, misses the line of the ball and keeps walking towards the dugout. Top-notch stuff from the Pakistani spinner!. 131/5
