Graeme Cremer to Xavier Bartlett, out Lbw!! Zimbabwe review for a lbw! Raza has a chat with Brendan Taylor and Cremer and after pondering about it, he challenges the decision.

Got beaten on the inside-edge and was struck on the back pad. The replays roll in. UltraEdge shows a flat line. Over to ball-tracking and it reveals three reds - it would have crashed into the leg-stump. OUT flashes the giant screen and the Zimbabweans roar in unison. Australia are under pressure now. Xavier Bartlett lbw b Graeme Cremer 3(6)
