Hardik Pandya to Ben Shikongo, out Lbw!! So plumb that Ben Shikongo was resigned to his fate. The ump had the finger up. But Shikongo has reviewed. Forced to take it in fact. The length delivery and seam-up, cuts back in, Ben Shikongo is late on the nudge, misses and hit right in front. Easiest LBW to give for umpire Paul Reiffel. Three reds. Now Hardik Pandya on a hat-trick. Kept a tad low and beat the closed-face. Ben Shikongo lbw b Hardik Pandya 0(1)
