Waqar Salamkheil to Charles, out Caught by Jyd Goolie!! A funky switch-hit and Charles has holed out to long-off, that's a waste of a wicket really - Salamkheil saw it coming, dragged the length back and bowled it wide of off (for the left-hander), having already been committed to the shot, Charles had to drag it over the on-side, hits it a lot straighter and down long-on's throat - a simple catch for Goolie in the deep.
