Ryan Rickelton 71(137)

50.1
W
Salman Agha to Rickelton, out Caught by Babar Azam!! Agha with the bat, Agha with the ball now. But what a stunner from Babar at slip. Third wants to be sure about the catch being clean. Fingers under the ball is the verdict. Sharp reaction from Babar and he grabbed it one-handed to the right inches from the ground. Full and turning away, Rickelton was looking to flick, got a thick leading edge that was dying on the fielder. Babar managed to get his fingers under the ball diving to the right and grabbed it clean. Had to be something special to end this special innings from Rickelton. This is the first time he's not converted a fifty into a hundred in his career. Rickelton c Babar Azam b Salman Agha 71(137) [4s-9 6s-2]
