Adil Rashid to Nissanka, out Caught by Will Jacks!! Beaten in the flight and gone! His bottom hand came off while going for the drive, a clear indication that he was through the shot too early as the ball dipped on him. Nicely done by Rashid. Tossed it up in the mid-70kph range, and Nissanka ends up chipping it down to long-off. Nissanka c Will Jacks b Adil Rashid 26(37) [4s-2 6s-1]
