- 28.2WMitchell Starc to MJ Ackerman, out Caught by Cameron Green!! South African head coach Shukri Conrad looks absolutely befuddled. Was it straight off the helmet? Nope. Off the splice, onto his helmet grille and then towards the slip cordon. Was there a second left when the review was taken? No, and the umpires told him he was out of time. It would not have mattered anway. Nasty 139ks short ball from Starc, it reared up quite quickly and climbed onto Ackerman in the blink of an eye. He took his eyes off the ball while trying to sway away from the line, but forgot to take his bat out of the firing line. In the end, the ball grazed the splice edge, hit the helmet grille and carried head height to the right of Green at slip. Excellent presence of mind from the big man and Australia went into celbrappeal mode straightaway. Ackerman started walking instantly, but probably Bavuma forced him into a review, but to no avail. Labuschagne went up to Ackerman straightaway and checked on him. The Protea opener was in utter shock as he trundled back towards the pavilion. Huge moment in the game. Replays reveal that he was just a second late in taking the review. The clock turned 0 when he signalled for the review. MJ Ackerman c Cameron Green b Mitchell Starc 62(80) [4s-8]
