Forde to Ibrahim Zadran, no run, dropped! Lewis has put down a sitter. He points towards the light. Forde was starting his celebrations but stops quickly - that's how easy the catch was. Good length ball, angled in and Ibrahim flicks it straight to mid-wicket. The ball goes at a nice height and Lewis makes a mess. He moves to his left, bends a bit and tries to reverse cup it, the ball does not stick and goes down. Not sure why he went reverse cup, the conventional way would have done the job. How costly will that miss prove?
