Paul Stirling 70(88)
30.4
Rashid Khan to Stirling, out Lbw!! Stirling is livid as he walks back - I think this was turning past the off-stump. Oh yes, the impact itself was just outside off, the leg-break and Stirling didn't read it - went back on the defensive push and missed as he got opened up by the angle, was still spinning and would have been easily missing the stumps. Unlucky dismissal for Stirling, is it the lucky break that Afghanistan needed? Stirling lbw b Rashid Khan 70(88) [4s-7 6s-2]
