Muthusamy to Latham, out Lbw!! Two wickets in two balls here for South Africa. They might just have a way back in this contest. A fuller length arm ball from Muthusamy, lands on leg stump and goes under the bat to strike the front pad as Latham attempted a sweep. Would have crashed onto middle and off as per ball tracking. Given out after the review, Senuran Muthusamy is on a hat-trick now! Latham lbw b Muthusamy 0(1)
