Babar Azam 57(72)
24.1
Swepson to Babar Azam, out Lbw!! He's swept all around this one, with the low full toss dipping on him, under the bat and hitting him low on the front foot. The onfield umpire has no hesitation in giving this one, but Babar, after a long thought, reviews. And finds three reds. It really couldn't be more plumb. It's pitching on leg-stump, spinning in, and hitting the middle of middle. A massive, massive moment this! And Swepson, on debut, as a debut wicket, has arguably the best batsman in the world right now. Babar Azam lbw b Swepson 57(72) [4s-6]

Swepson to Babar Azam, no run, Australia review an LBW: It's a flat leg-break that Babar defends with his bat behind his pad, and the ball has come flush off the bat, bouncing off the ground right behind the front foot and popping back towards the keeper. They're checking the stumping now as well, and that's fine as well for Babar. Review lost
