The incident happened during the sixth over of the first innings when Imran Tahir was bowling to Tim David. On the third ball, Tim David hit the ball straight to long off and immediately said no run to Phil Salt and denied a single which could have easily been taken. Before denying the single, the previous two balls, Tim David smashed both deliveries for a boundary, so he was in the rhythm.
After denying the single, in the next ball, David hit the six over long on, proving his decision right for why he denied the single.
