fired in outside leg, following the batter as he backs away.. Siddique digs it out to long on for a single

Southee has four! Full delivery on middle and off stump. This might have been a cutter because Aayan is a week early into the stroke. Gets it right off the toe-end and the ball touches the moon before coming back down and nestling in Seifert's palms at mid on!

Santner gets Naseer! Is that the game as well?! Fired in full on leg stump and had Naseer stood still, that could have been launched over long on. Instead, Naseer pre-meditates the reverse and then ends up playing all over it. The ball goes past the bat and smashes into the pads. The umpire thinks about it before raising his finger. Did that pitch outside leg, though? Well, there is no DRS for this series, so guess we will never know!

slow and hung outside off. Naseer does not have pace to work with and jabs it straight to extra cover

into the stands! Length delivery that pitches on off and spins into Naseer's hitting arc. He winds up and wallops it high and long over deep mid wicket!
