Is that a clean catch? The umpire takes it upstairs to confirm. The soft signal is OUT. After several replays the third umpire is convinced that the fielders right leg touched the boundary cushion. The big screen shows NOT OUT and the crowd is loving it.

Mohammad Nabi to Mosaddek Hossain, SIX! Almost a spectacular catch but it ends up being a maximum by the smallest of margins and the crowd goes wild as well. Tossed up by Mohammad Nabi, around off and Mosaddek Hossain launches high in the evening sky. The ball almost flies over the long off fence but Azmatullah Omarzai runs to his right and takes it before flicking it back to Rashid Khan who came in from long on. The catch is checked by the third umpire and after a lot of replays, the third umpire concludes that Omarzai's foot touched the ropes just before he let go off the ball and Mosaddek survives.
