20.6
Starc to Masood, no run, loud shout for LBW, but has Masood been struck outside the line of off-stump? Is the height an issue? Australia have reviewed though - was the nip-backer and a shuffling Masood was caught on the move - no bat, Hotspot and RTS confirm it, onto ball-tracking and the impact is indeed outside off - so the original call stays and the hosts lose a review. Nipped back in sharply and smashed onto Masood's knee-roll, only the impact saving the Pakistan captain
