Nathan Ellis to Arafat Minhas, out Lbw!! Arafat Minhas has been trapped in front but after a conversation with his partner, he challenges the decision. Looks adjacent to the naked eye. Was a back of a length delivery on middle and off, pitched and then skidded on and perhaps also kept a bit low. Arafat was late to bring his bat down and was beaten on the under-edge to get pinged on the back pad. UltraEdge rolls in and shows a clear gap between bat and ball. Over to ball-tracking and it returns three reds - it would have crashed into the off-stump. A good little knock from Arafat Minhas nonetheless. Australia get the breakthrough they were searching for. Bringing back a seamer has worked for them. Arafat Minhas lbw b Nathan Ellis 33(43) [4s-4]
