018.718.6: Joel Davies to Mustafizur Rahman, OUT! LBW! A fine review from Australia and Joel Davies wraps things up with a three-fer. Bangladesh have been bowled out for 131. An arm ball, full and on middle, angles away. Mustafizur Rahman tries to block it with a straight bat but plays down the wrong line. The ball goes past the outside edge behind, where Josh Inglis grabs it and appeals for it, but it is turned down. After a chat with his keeper and bowler, Mitchell Marsh takes the review, UltraEdge confirms no bat involved, but the replay shows that the ball hits the back pad before going to the keeper. The third umpire sees the Ball Tracking, which shows three reds, with the ball crashing into the off pole. Not the dismissal, the Aussies appealed for, but they will take it.
