Josh Tongue to Blundell, out Lbw!! England have their sixth! It's a superb delivery that jagged back in sharply and stayed a touch low, leaving Tom Blundell with no chance. Planted on the back foot trying to defend, he was beaten entirely as the ball sneaked under his bat and struck him low on the back pad. The umpire's finger went up in a flash. Blundell briefly checked with his partner about a review, but with no bat involved and the ball crashing dead in line with the stumps, he walks back. Blundell lbw b Josh Tongue 4(12)
