Good length delivery, nipped in a touch to strike him on the front pad (knee-roll) as Lees was half-forward to block. Was there any bat involved? "The ball passes the bat, no bat involved," says the third umpire. Over to ball-tracking. Impact - umpire's call | hitting off and middle. The onfield call stays and Lees departs.
