The off stump is flattened 159/522.5 the googly.... pitches just outside off and comes back in, Taibu gets a half prod forward and meets the ball on the lower half of his pad in line of middle stump, Afridi appeals confidently and umpire de Silva is convinced 130/325.5 excellent work again by Akmal....flighted outside the off stump, Taylor is beaten as he steps forward to defend, Aklam gathers the ball and quickly whips off the bails seeing Taylor's back foot in the air, the third umpire has a look at it.
