Barry McCarthy to Alzarri Joseph
Length ball, outside off, skids off the surface a bit as it angles into the right hander, on middle. The batter looks to flick it and gets beaten as the ball hits his knee roll and goes into the leg side. An appeal for LBW, but not given. Perhaps, must be a bit high.
