Tickner to Shadab Khan, FOUR, That's a sensational grab at third man by Duffy. He can't do anything wrong tonight? But the third umpire will have a look - did his elbow hit the rope as he fell over? Was he in full control over the ball? It's a clean catch alright? Don't think his elbow hit the rope - but did his left hand touch touch it? It's very very close to the ropes - NOT OUT is the call. Now, how do you explain this - short and wide of off, Shadab rode the bounce and cut it high and over backward point - Duffy ran across from third man, leapt as high as he could and the ball stuck in his right hand, as he landed though, the right hand inadvertently brushed the skirtings. Think he had a guilty look, didn't really celebrate
