106.3
S Thompson to Wafadar Momand, out Caught by Andy Balbirnie!! A short ball aimed at the body, Wafadar Momand is cramped for room and he fails to ride the bounce. He ends up dabbing it to first slip. Balbirine doesn't err. The umpires want to check if it's a fair delivery. There's some part of the boot behind the line. Should be OUT and it is.

S Thompson to Asghar Afghan, out Caught by Stuart Poynter!! Edged and taken! Asghar Afghan was looking dangerous and he's been dismissed.

S Thompson to Nabi, out Caught by James Cameron!! A soft dismissal for Nabi and all of a sudden - Ireland are making a mini-comeback in Dehradun. On a good length and slanting into his pads, Nabi had all the time in the world to work it to the on-side - perhaps, he played the shot a tad too early, couldn't control the flick and lobbed a simple catch to Cameron at mid-wicket.
