Khuzaima Tanveer to Gulbadin, 1 run, what was Curran doing? He did not see the ball. This time the leading edge is found as Naib once again closes the bat face, the ball skies towards mid-off and Curran does not spot early, he is well in from the 30-yard circle and the ball drops just beyond him. Ferguson tries to get around from mid-on but he's well short of where the ball landed. It was Curran's catch and he completely misjudged or lost it in the lights.
