Haris Rauf to Jack Edwards, out Caught by Sanjay Krishnamurthi!! Almost a collision between two fielders but Krishnamurthi manages to hang on, there's no injury as well. Back to back wickets! San Fransico are on fire. 141ks back of a length delivery, stops a bit on Edwards as he does not go through with the pull, chips it half-heartedly over mid-wicket. Krishnamurthi runs back from mid-wicket and Azam came running in from mid-on, they avoid each other and the catch is also held on. Replays show that Edwards got more of a leading-edge as he tried to send it over the leg-side. Jack Edwards c Sanjay Krishnamurthi b Haris Rauf 2(4)
