15.5
Nabi to Nissanka, out Lbw!! 95kph, appeal for lbw, struck down. Shahidi decides to send it upstairs. Was there an inside edge? If not, that's close. Nissanka stays back to a relatively full ball and hurriedly brings his bat down. He was caught in the crease and the ball skidded off the deck. Looks like pad first. The bat is hitting the back of the pad while the ball is hitting the front of the bat. I0$ Over to ball-tracking and it's three reds! It was Gurbaz who persuaded the skipper to challenge the decision. Excellent review from Afghanistan and finally they have the breakthrough. Nabi strikes in his first over. Nissanka lbw b Nabi 43(56) [4s-6]
