Code: MJ Cosgrove run out typical Made up for it in the second innings though. And yeah not too surprised that Malik bowled well; probably a better bowler than he is a batsman at this level.
****. Thought we could pull it off once we snagged them for 200 odd in the first innings. Only for them to get to 400 in the second.
