The incident occurred on the third ball of the last over in the first innings when Irshad bowled a long-on yorker, which Odean Smith hit firmly at long-off and called for a quick second run.
Adil Rashid pushed hard to gain ground, but David, posted on the edge, reacted quickly. He collected the ball cleanly and delivered a precise shot to the bowler’s side, leaving Rashid well short of his area.
