Craig Ervine 23(58)
27.2
Phehlukwayo to Craig Ervine, out Lbw!! And now, another wicket. It's the other set batsman. Ervine thinks of reviewing, talks with his partner and decides to go off. Probably the right call. Where did it pitch? That's the only doubt. HawkEye confirms that it pitched on leg. A seam-up delivery from a short of length that straightened a tad. Ervine doesn't account for it and ends up playing down the wrong line. Gets hit on the front pad and then the back leg. That's crashing into the off-stump. Ball-tracking shows three reds.
