Scott Boland to Ben Duckett
4:19 AMNo Run. Ben Duckett survives!!! A length ball on the leg side angles back to the pads. A huge appeal by the bowling team, and adrian holdstock's finger goes up. Ben looks in shock; he went to review this one on time, and no bat was involved, and confidently, it was pitching outside the leg. Good review by them.
