5:02 PMWicket! Run Out By Azmatullah Omarzai! Kalhan Challu Out! No Run. Great work by Omarzai! Was a good length ball on middle, drives it straight back towards Omarzai and he took a couple of steps out of the crease, Omarzai collects it on a bounce and gets a direct hit at batting end all in one motion as Kalhan could not make it back.
