Jason Holder to Ryan Burl
OUT! Trapped in front! 50 T20I wickets for Jason Holder. A gem of a yorker, superbly executed in line of the stumps and Burl fails to keep it out. He is hit flush on the left boot and the umpire lifts his finger immediately after the appeal is made. Burl takes the DRS. Nothing on the UltraEdge and three reds on the Ball Tracking. A body blow to Zimbabwe as Burl is on his bike. 62 needed off 39 balls.

Shout for a caught behind, not given! Holder delivers it on a length outside off, angling away from the left-handed batter, Ngarava stays back to have a blind swing at it. He misses and Pooran appeals after collecting the ball. The finger stays down and the West Indian skipper takes the DRS. The UltraEdge finds nothing. West Indies have no reviews left now to waste.
