Mujeeb to Marumani, out Lbw!! Given out LBW. It looks to be sliding down leg, but the ump has the finger up in a flash. And no DRS as well. So Marumani has to go. Even the ball pitching seems to be an issue. On a length around leg-stump, Marumani shuffles across inside the line to sweep, misses, and the finger goes up. Need ball-tracking to see what it was doing. To the naked eye, it looked to be clearly sliding down leg. Marumani lbw b Mujeeb 0(2)
