Strange review there, Siraj thinks Malan got a little nick, he’s the only one calling for it. I guess they might as well review…
Oh, he did get a thin edge down the leg side, Malan out.

Buttler so out of form chips a simple catch, hone for 7 360-5
Bumrah gets Root through the gate, ball jagged back in slightly. Might even have taken a thin inside edge…
