Carson to Joseph, OUT, off stump knocked back, and Carson has the last laugh! Tossed up beautifully on a length on middle stump. Drifts into Joseph and then grips just enough to spin past Joseph's swipe. Smashes into the top of off stump, and Carson is delighted. Last match's POTM will not play a major role in the run-chase tonight!
