20.2 OUT! LBW! A massive shout for LBW, but turned down! Mohammad Rizwan is literally pleading with the umpire, as it looks really close, too. Pakistan take the review. This is floated, full and on middle and leg, turns in. Rhys Mariu goes down to sweep, but this is too full for that shot, and he misses to get hit on the pads. The only thing that can save him, if it is pitching outside leg. However, UltraEdge confirms that no bat is involved, and Ball Tracking comes up three reds! Another timely wicket for Pakistan as Mariu departs for 58 off 61. The Kiwis are three down now. 103/3
