During the 15th over of the innings, Sam Billings and Moeen Ali were present in the middle and the leggie Shadab Khan was bowling. Moeen Ali edged the 4th delivery of the over and Mohammad Rizwan made no mistake while grabbing the ball. It was a flatter delivery outside off, Moeen Ali poked at it one away from his body and got a feather to it.
