Lungi Ngidi to Chris Jordan

Lungi Ngidi to Richard Gleeson
OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Excellent review from South Africa to clean things up! A slower full ball, down the leg side. Richard Gleeson seems to miss his flick. A stifled appeal for a caught behind follows and the finger stays down. South Africa review it. Again there is a noise as the ball passes the bat. Ultra Edge shows a spike and that will be the end of England's innings. South Africa win by 58 runs.
