Fazalhaq Farooqi to Afif Hossain
NOT OUT! Afghanistan lose their second review and now they have nothing left in the bank. A length ball, angled down leg. Hossain looks to heave it across the line but misses. The umpire signals a wide initially while Fazalhaq Farooqi appeals for caught behind. The Afghan keeper convinces his skipper to take it upstairs and Hashmatullah Shahidi signals the 'T'. The UltraEdge shows no bat is involved and it went off the pads. The onfield decision of NOT OUT stays and the wide is cancelled.
