Aftab Alam to Klazinga, OUT, Yorker and bowled! Full ball and it was as straight as it could get, most number 10 batsmen would have found it difficult to play that.

Aftab Alam to Erasmus, OUT, Bowled him! It is amazing that it took them so long toattempt something different. Tried to scoop it over fine-leg but he only managed to guide it to his stumps.
