34.4
Holder to Sarfraz, out Caught by Roston Chase at !! That's that. Pakistan self-implode. Make a real mess of this chase. Can't blame Sarfraz for wanting to heave a few away. Not quite ideal though with the field spread. Walks across, gets behind the line of a fullish teaser and whips it uppishly. Not quite the power, neither quite the distance. Chase, at long-on accepts with glee and snaffles it with utter glee. Sarfraz c Roston Chase b Holder 23(50) [4s-2]

Holder to Younis Khan, out Lbw!! The ball sleeps it way through. Nothing Younis could have done with this one. With his jumps as well, the bat doesn't come down in time to keep the ball out. On the pads and the umpire raises the dreaded finger. A real wasted review this - Younis doesn't even bother standing and waiting for the decision. The only piece of doubt that could have saved him would have been the point of impact given he was on the shuffle.
