Khaled Ahmed to Stirling, out Lbw!! It looked out to the naked eye as umpire Richard Illingworth had the finger up in a flash. Khaled Ahmed didn't even appeal strongly, but the others did. Stirling walks down the track and looks to flick this middle-stump delivery across the line, misses, played right across it, rapped on the pads and that's crashing into the stumps. Three reds and he has to go. One interesting thing is that the ball-tracking did not show how far Stirling was down the track. He took a couple of steps down the pitch. Reviews and loses it. Stirling lbw b Khaled Ahmed 27(26) [4s-4 6s-1]
