Mitchell Starc to Chris Gayle
NOT OUT! Australia waste another review as they have nothing left in the bank anoymore. A full length ball, on middle and leg. Chris Gayle plays around it. He misses his flick and gets rapped on the pads. There is a loud appeal for LBW but the umpire is not interested. Aaron Finch takes the review with just a second to spare. The Ultra Edge shows the bat is absent. The Ball Tracker shows the wickets are missing. Gayle is still in the middle.
