Craig Ervine 39(116)

50.1
W
Nathan Smith to Ervine, out Lbw!! Was it going down leg? Was a length delivery, angled in, Ervine looked to clip and misses. The umpire thought it was going on to hit the sticks and gave it out. That was a length delivery, Ervine played around it to miss the line of the ball. The resistance has finally ended but I guess Ervine would feel a little unlucky there. There was angle on that delivery and the middle and off sticks were visible with the ball still having to travel a fair distance. Ervine lbw b Nathan Smith 39(116) [4s-6]
