15.3
Green to Malan, no run, noise as the ball passed the bat, soft appeal for caught behind, ump says no. Australia discuss the review, Cummins wonders if it hit the shirt. Tell you what, this could be tight on the replay. Where's UltraEdge! Oh yes, Australia have missed another dismissal. Malan has hit that. Langer sees the replay in the dressing room and closes his eyes in disappointment. Where's Marnus? Did he not convince them? Or did they ignore him! This is poor from Carey. Poor because the bat came at an angle where it couldn't have hit anything else but bat first and then brushed the body or pad. Can't be missing these! Malan was late on the back foot defence, seems like a late call to defend, got an thin inner edge and he escapes
15.2
