Marnus Labuschagne to Ajinkya Rahane
Good stop near the ropes! But scores are level. Full and outside, Rahane drives it through the covers. The ball is racing towards the fence in the deep. This might well be the winning runs but no. Cummins from covers gives it a chase and stops it with a dive, allowing the batsmen to take three more.
