19.5BOWLED'EM? Or is it? Uh..oh! Brydon Carse almost had the last laugh, but he has overstepped again. This is a good yorker, on middle. Rovman Powell backs away to carve it away, but is late to put his bat down as the ball goes under his bat to rattle the stumps. As soon as he starts to walk back, the umpire calls him back as this is a No Ball. Disappointment for Carse, but another Free Hit is coming up.

It rolls past the keeper for a couple of leg byes. Ball Tracking shows that the ball was bouncing over the off stump, so, a wise decision not to go for the review.
