Eathan Bosch to Naseem Shah, 2 runs, the ball fell short of Kofi James, but he had the presence of mind to effect a run-out, or has he?

Daniel Sams to Navian Bidaisee, out Navian Bidaisee Run Out!! The Royals have been excellent in the field today. A full ball from Daniel Sams which Bidaisee drove to extra cover.
