Verreynne 16(36)
All

W
Siraj to Verreynne, out Lbw!! 136kph, Verreynne has been adjudged lbw. He has a chat with Stubbs and reviews. Bat first or pad first? Nip-backer from Siraj from a good length. The bat is late to come down as it brushes the back pad. The batter was looking to angle it into the off-side. The impact is in front of the stumps. UltraEdge confirms pad first. Over to ball-tracking and that's crashing into the middle-stump. South Africa have now lost all their three reviews. Gill persisted with Siraj and the latter has struck. It's been a much better spell from Siraj. Verreynne lbw b Siraj 16(36) [4s-2]
