A big shout for LBW, but turned down! Matt Henry goes a bit fuller and on middle and leg, shaping in. Fakhar Zaman gets stuck in his crease and misses his flick to get hit high on the pads. Henry looks interested here and Mitchell Santner gets convinced to take the review. UltraEdge confirms no bat involved and Ball Tracking shows that it has pitched outside leg.
