Tongue to Rahul, out Bowled!! The middle stump is uprooted as Tongue cleans him up with a beauty! Pitched right up and angled into the stumps, Rahul's front foot doesn't get forward enough as he looks to drive, gives the chance for the ball to nip away and it goes past the edge to send the stump for a walk. The extra pace from Tongue perhaps making him reluctant to get forward. Rahul b Tongue 55(84) [4s-10]
