Mark Adair to Keshav Maharaj
OUT! NO BALL as well! What has happend there? What were you thinking Kagiso Rabada? A waist high full toss, on middle. Maharaj heaves it towards mid-wicket. The fielder in the deep takes the catch and throws it back to the keeper, who sees Rabada well out of his crease and clips the bails off. Rabada didn't complete the run in anticipation of that is a no ball, which it was but the laws state that the batsman can get run out of a no ball. Now, the umpire has a long chat with the TV umpire and signals a no ball. Run out is also given in the end and that is the end of Kagiso Rabada. Free-hit coming up. This is poor from Rabada.
