WPaul Stirling b Azmatullah Omarzai
Azmatullah Omarzai to Paul Stirling, out Bowled!! The off stump goes for a walk as Omarzai hits back in style after the boundary! It's a cracking delivery. Full around off, seems to be canted for the outswinger but it nips back slightly after pitching. Stirling ends up missing it by a long way on the inside edge. Double strike from Omarzai!
