Farmanullah Safi to Ruturaj Gaikwad, out Caught by Hassan Eisakhil!! In the air and taken! Farmanullah Safi breaks the partnership. Looked like the slower ball, Ruturaj gets down to slog it over midwicket but only manages to get a top-edge on it. Doesn't cross the 30-yard circle either. Hassan Eisakhil gets under it at the midwicket region and juggles before taking it on the second attempt. Ruturaj Gaikwad c Hassan Eisakhil b Farmanullah Safi 66(80) [4s-3]
