Shadab Khan to Dawid Malan
DAYLIGHT BETWEEN BAT AND BALL! Rizwan quickly apologizes with a smile. Shadab starts with a flatter leg spinner outside off, not turning much and going straight on, Malan hangs back to push inside the line but misses. Rizwan collects and appeals, the bowler joins him late but the umpire turns down the appeal. Pakistan take the referral but the replays show that the bat and ball are poles apart.
