Over 13.1 TA Boult to Gary Ballance, out Caught by Williamson!!  This was short, this was wide, it should have been put away to the boundary. Perhaps the ball didn't come on to the bat, Ballance was shaping for the pull, ends up hanging his bat at that, the ball goes off the cue end of the bat and loops gently towards short cover.
