19.5: Arshdeep Singh to Nathan Ellis, Oh, would you believe it? Nathan Ellis has absolutely clobbered that one but into the umpire at the other end and a certain boundary is stopped. This is full and straight, Ellis drills it back to the bowler who gets a bit of a right hand on it. The ball deflects away a bit and goes into the umpire who himself was trying to get out of the way. Nothing anyone can do there and it will only be a single. Game over now for Australia.
