Muthusamy to Rizwan, out Caught by Verreynne!! Good piece of bowling from Muthusamy to get rid of the well-set Rizwan! Muthusamy talked about bowling slow through the air and the ball reacting differently to that on this surface in an interview before the start of day's play and that plan has worked for him on this occasion. 84kph tossed up delivery drifting in on off initially, lands on the seam on a length, Rizwan is drawn forward into a push but the ball turns away venomously with extra bounce and an outside edge is induced. Verreynne shows sharp reflexes and takes a sharp catch to his right. A brilliant knock from Rizwan nonetheless. He bailed his side out of a tricky situation and has put them in a strong position with some proactive batting. Rizwan c Verreynne b Muthusamy 75(140) [4s-2 6s-2]
