In the air but falls safely! Here comes the bouncer, over middle and leg, Aizaz Khan looks for the pull but gets hurried on and the top edge is found.

Direct hit and Zeeshan would have been a goner. Back of a length, around off, Ali taps it down to point and looks for a run. He is sent back but loses balance and falls on the pitch. Ravindra Jadeja, for a change, misses the target at the striker's end and Zeeshan Ali survives.
