Khuzaima Tanveer to Phil Salt, out Lbw!! Action straightaway! The Vipers have taken a review for lbw. Was a very full delivery that swung towards the leg-stump and it straightened a bit after pitching perhaps, Phil Salt tried to flick it across but played down the wrong line to get pinged on the pads. Time for the replays. UltraEdge rolls in and shows a gap between bat and ball. Over to ball-tracking and it reveals three reds - the ball would have crashed into the leg-stump. Judicious use of the review from the Vipers. Phil Salt lbw b Khuzaima Tanveer 0(1)
