18.6
W
Adil Rashid to Markram, out Caught&Bowled!! Adil Rashid strikes again! He has started off beautifully and deserves the rewards. Adil Rashid slips in the slider on a back of a length on middle and leg, it's down the slope so it goes with the natural angle. Markram backs away a bit but doesn't have space to free his arms. He wants to punch it through mid-on perhaps but gets a bit of a leading edge. Rashid is alert on his followthrough, moves to his right and gets low to take a good catch. Markram c and b Adil Rashid 49(64) [4s-6 6s-1]
