Alzarri Joseph to Khawaja, out Lbw!! Khawaja has been trapped in front but he takes the review quite quickly. Is height a factor? Was a back of a length ball that seamed in nicely from outside off, Khawaja hopped to keep it out but missed to get hit on the back leg. UltraEdge shows a gap between bat and ball. Over to ball-tracking and hitting is umpire's call - it would have grazed the top of middle-stump.
