SIX! Just over! Misjudgement by Shoaib Bashir! Dear o dear. More woes for England. A short ball on leg stump, Gill looks to play the pull along the ground but gets a top edge due to the extra bounce. Bashir at that position is standing three steps inside the boundary line and has to run back to try and take the catch. He leaps and sticks out his left hand, but the ball tips over.
