Lahiru Kumara to Andy Balbirnie, SIX! He stepped on the ropes while taking the catch! That is yet another sharp bumper, Balbirnie is beaten for pace as he tries to pull. It goes off the top edge towards fine leg. The fielder takes it but he is not sure whether he has stepped on the ropes or not. It is taken upstairs and replays show that his foot touches the ropes while taking the catch.
