Shaun Marsh 44(72)
32.2
Bumrah to Shaun Marsh, out Lbw!! Shaun Marsh has been given out LBW! He has decided to review it. It looks adjacent to me. At worst umpire's call. There is no inside edge for sure. It is just clipping the leg-stump. Australia won't lose their review. That man, Bumrah provides the breakthrough again. Isn't he a special cricketer! Gets this one to nip back off the deck, Shaun Marsh moves across a touch and wanted to clip it to the leg-side. It misses his inside edge and raps him on the pads. A loud shout from Bumrah and umpire Marais Erasmus raises his finger. Skipper Kohli is pumped as he generally is after a wicket. Shaun Marsh lbw b Bumrah 44(72) [4s-4 6s-1]
