OUT! RUN OUT! Full and just outside off, Wahab Riaz misses the cover drive. Yet again, they look to scamper through and yet again Philip Salt does an excellent job of scoring the direct hit. The umpire sends it upstairs and we can see that Odean Smith is well short of his crease. Two run outs in two balls. Also, Naveen-ul-Haq got a body blow while colliding with Wahab Riaz as he was running through. The physio checks him and Naveen-ul-Haq is good to continue.
