Michael Bracewell to Craig Ervine, Unplayable from Michael Bracewell. Drifting it into the batter, and it goes through with the arm. Craig Ervine leans ahead to block this out, expecting it to turn. The ball goes straight through the gate between the bat and pad, but it misses everything onto the keeper. It goes past the off stump, and everyone on the ground is in awe. Both the keeper and bowler even appeal for LBW, but the umpire remains unmoved, implying that it hasn't touched anything.
