Rashid Khan to Ryan Rickelton, out Lbw!! Rickelton given out LBW and goes for the review! That's plumb in front! Round the wicket angle does the trick for Rashid and he's dismissed both the set batters in this over. Look at him leap in celebration. It's slides in off a good length, not sure if it was the googly but it didn't turn much and just came in with the angle. Rickelton tries clipping it away, misses and is pinned on the crease. Ball-tracking says it's hitting the top of middle. Ryan Rickelton lbw b Rashid Khan 61(28) [4s-5 6s-4]
