Ngidi drags the length back and bowls it in the channel on off, Rahmanullah Gurbaz gets on his toes and punches it with a high elbow to cover.

Action straight away! Ngidi steams in from over the wicket and angles it in, on a length, around off. Rahmanullah Gurbaz takes a couple of steps down the track as he looks to defend with a straight bat. Gets an inside edge onto the pads and it is spotted by Ngidi.
