Aiden Markram 11(27)

7.4
W
Fernando to Markram, out Bowled!! An absolute peach! The umpires want to check if it's a fair delivery. No problem. The Sri Lankans are pumped up and why not! Fernando hurled it full and got it to curl into the right-hander, might have nipped in further as well off the deck. Markram was playing for the angle and ended up playing outside the line of the ball. The ball sneaks through the bat-pad gap and crashes into the middle-stump. Replays show that, the ball brushed the back pad before making a mess of the timber. Markram b Fernando 11(27) [4s-1]

1.6
Fernando to Amla, no run, a big appeall for lbw! Aleem Dar isn't interested. After having a word with the bowler, Karunaratne decides to review. But wait, it seems the Lankans have taken more than 15 seconds to take the call. So, the umpires don't go upstairs. Well, this is going to be controversial. A fuller than a good length ball and Amla played outside the line of it. The ball might have swung in and brushed Amla's front pad before hitting the back leg. Three reds on HawkEye and Amla survives. I have seen sides taking more time to challenge a call. We used our own timer and it showed just 13.79 seconds
