Adil Rashid to Parthiv Patel, out Lbw!! Excellent review from England, good use of the technology. I'm sure they must have seen Steve Smith's dismissal at the WACA. A leg-break, pitches on and around off and slides back in to hit Parthiv Patel on the knee roll, Parthiv was on the move - was advancing to push the ball straight and missed completely. No-one looked excited except YJB who was pretty convinced. He was adamant and forced the skip. to review and it worked out in their favour. Well done! Parthiv Patel lbw b Adil Rashid 42(85) [4s-6]
