Sam Curran to Abhishek Sharma, out Lbw!! Review for LBW! Appeared to be leg-sidish in real time, we'll see.. Slower one angled in, catches Abhishek right in the crease and ball-tracking says it's crashing into leg stump. Wow. Excellent review to get rid of the danger man. Was the slower leg-cutter but it just skidded through, taking Abhishek by surprise perhaps. Wanted to go across the line and couldn't connect, getting struck on the back pad. Three reds on ball-tracking. Abhishek Sharma lbw b Sam Curran 59(24) [4s-6 6s-4]

Saqib Mahmood to Abhishek Sharma, SIX, he's getting stuck into Mahmood here!
