Dean Elgar 64(102)
37.3
Taskin Ahmed to Elgar, out Lbw!! Three Reds and Elgar has been done in by some little indentation on the deck. Because that kept low after angling in. The batter wanted to jab it down but failed to wood it. Bangladesh decided to review it and have had their man. Bangladesh almost pleaded with the ump to give it out and was turned down. But they didn't waste much time to review it. Second time Bangladesh have challenged a decision correctly today. Elgar lbw b Taskin Ahmed 64(102) [4s-7]
