OUT
another lovely yorker, given lbw but I think he will get it reviewed and overturned because of the angle. He is beaten after shuffling across, but this is bowled over the wicket and has hit him in front of off. Has to be missing. But it is not. The replay shows it to be swinging back in. That is surprising, but I am not going to question the technology here. I got it wrong unlike Natarajan who has been nailing his yorkers
