W
Brydon Carse to Karun Nair, out Lbw!! Carse strikes! Error in judgement and Nair is gone. Seemed like he started to walk before umpire Paul Reiffel raised his finger but he was struck on the knee and moved away to gather himself. Nip-backer and Nair does not judge it well, shoulders arms and is struck on the leg. The impact didn't matter as he wasn't playing a shot and umpire Reiffel had his finger up in a flash. Nair did have a word with Rahul but the pair decide against the review. Just the boost England needed with 30 minutes to go.. Karun Nair lbw b Brydon Carse 14(33) [4s-1]
