In the air... dropped! FOUR! A tremendous effort though one can say. McKechnie comes down the track and looks to go downtown. Fails to get the timing right.

Overthrow! Fuller and on off, this is driven towards cover. Ali there picks the ball up and has a shy at the non-striker's end but misses. Had he hit, Christie was a goner. The fielder backing up fumbles and another run is taken.
