Ali Khan to Ruben Trumpelmann, 1 run, what a miss by Ali Khan. Monank is not happy. It's full on middle, drilled to Smit, the ball ricochets back to Ali Khan as Smit is out of his crease. He just needed to go to the stumps and flick the bails off with Smit stranded. Instead he looks to under-arm from close-in and misses. That will go in the bloopers list on YouTube
