Adil Rashid 31(52)
61.2
Dilruwan Perera to Adil Rashid, out Lbw!! Appeal for LBW and Ravi has his finger up straightaway, so has Rashid with the review. It's a fair delivery, looks like there's no bat and UltraEdge confirms it. Hawk-Eye in, it's three reds and Rashid is OUT. Not sure why Rashid reviewed this, it's as plumb as one gets. Went right back to an off-break, the bat came down at an angle and he was beaten on the inside edge, struck on the back-pad, adjacent to middle, was going to crash into the middle-stump. England lose a review as well as their 8th wicket. Adil Rashid lbw b Dilruwan Perera 31(52) [4s-2 6s-1]
