49.6
Ismail to Ecclestone, out Bowled!! Knocked 'er. Some words also exchanged between Ecclestone and some South African players. This was a well-disguised slower ball, Ecclestone makes room and walks down, swings through the line and is deceived for pace, the ball goes past the swinging blade and hits the top of off-stump.
