Josh Hazlewood to KL Rahul, OUT! TAKEN! Australia get the priced wicket of Rahul. Josh Hazlewood bowls this full and on the pads, KL Rahul looks to whip it away, but tries to hit it too hard and cannot get the right elevation as it is not from the middle of the bat. As a result, the ball goes in the air and towards deep square leg where Nathan Ellis settles under it and takes a good catch. Rahul will be kicking himself as he was set and could have done more damage.
