Mohamed Shiraz to Ruturaj Gaikwad, out Bowled!! What happened there? Gaikwad is bowled. There was no reaction from the Sri Lankan fielders. Some of them didn't realise. Fullish delivery angled down, Gaikwad shuffles a bit and misses the glance, the ball goes behind him and hits the leg-stump. The partnership is broken. And Gaikwad is disappointed with himself, he got a start but hasn't converted it. Replays show that the ball hit the under side of the thigh pad and deflected onto the stumps. Unlucky!
