86.2
Anderson to Blundell, out Lbw!! No hundred for Tom Blundell but he gets a massive applause from every cormer of the ground. He knew he was gone and reviewed in hope. Having pinched a couple of runs the previous delivery Blundell might have been thinking about his milestone and that probably could have contributed to his downfall. He was so assured in his defence throughout, but as they say - nervous nineties does make you do things that you wouldn't otherwise. Wobble seam nip-backer asking for middle and off, Blundell wasn't fully forward on the stride and gets pinged dead in front of middle. Huge gap between bat and pad as the ball tracking suggests it to be crashing into leg stump. Blundell lbw b Anderson 96(198) [4s-12]
