That's just unlucky for the bowler! Nails the yorker as he follows Tilak down the leg side. Tilak jams his bat down and the ball ends up going through his feet and past the keeper. Umpire confers with Tilak and gives it as runs, even though it looked like it went off his boots!

Muzarabani to Rickelton, 1 run, OUT
Muzarabani goes pace off again, and oh wait <b>that's a direct hit and Rickelton is run-out in a bit of bizarre fashion!</b> Rickelton punches this down towards long-off and wants a second, but Tilak sends him back. But as Rickelton turns to get back to the crease at the non-striker's end, he is blocked by Muzarabani, who was trying to get behind the line of the throw from the deep, which ends up hitting the stumps! Rickelton immediately sets off, knowing he was a goner. No complaints there either, as Muzarabani seemingly wasn't intentionally trying to block him. Anukul Roy again with heroics on the field!
