Aaron Hardie to Saim Ayub, out Caught by Iftikhar Ahmed!! Saim Ayub holes out! He had no other option but to go for it but this time the slower delivery gets the better of him! On a length around off, Saim Ayub backs away a bit and goes for a big hit downtown but only manages to toe-end it towards the mid-on region. Iftikhar moves across to his left, keeps his eyes on the ball and reverse cups it nicely. He dropped Ayub earlier but he doesn't make a mistake this time. A really good knock from Ayub nonetheless.

He tries to run it down to third man but only manages to get it off the inner half down the track. He calls his partner through and Kusal Perera responds. Nahid Rana is running towards the ball across to his right on his followthrough and Perera has to slow down. He has to change direction slightly as he moves to his left and has to scurry across. Bracewell charges in, picks up the ball and hits the bull's eye with an under-arm throw. Perera is not happy as he complains to the umpires that there was an obstruction from the bowler. It has been taken upstairs by both the umpires as they feel that Nahid Rana might have obstructed Kusal Perera. The replays roll in. Nahid Rana had moved across towards the ball and he slowed down momentarily when Perera was near him but he wasn't looking at him. He had his eyes on Bracewell. The third umpire feels the same way. The big dive from Kusal Perera didn't save him as he was just short of the crease when the bails came off. Labuschagne isn't happy and has a chat with the fourth umpire but Perera has to go. Kusal Perera run out (Michael Bracewell) 1(2)
