Najibullah Zadran
1-0-9-0
Najibullah to Sundeep Jora, out Sundeep Jora Run Out!! This is a massive moment. Jora puts in the dive and it is a tight call. He might have made it in but there's no third umpire - and the square leg umpire raises his finger. Jora has no option but to walk back. This is a mix-up. Jora works it towards mid-wicket and sets off. Paudel is not interested and sends his partner back. Jora turns around and puts in the dive, but the umpire thought he was still short.
