Farmanullah Safi to Priyansh Arya, out Caught by Shams Ur Rahman!! This is a very good catch, literally an inch off the ground at backward point. Now the interesting this was the fielder had his fingers pointing down when closing his hands for the catch. He took his head away to the right in fear of ball bouncing and smashing him on the face. The third ump had a look and ruled in favour of the fielding side this time. Just like Vaibhav when he escaped a catch early on, Priyansh is also troubled on the cut by extra bounce. He couldn't control this short of length delivery, ended up hitting it in the air longer. The ball was dipping and the fielder managed to get low and pluck the catch. Priyansh Arya walks off after a fine innings. Priyansh Arya c Shams Ur Rahman b Farmanullah Safi 58(42) [4s-9 6s-1]
