What about same basic play when fielder receives ball just after runner reaches, then holds tag to see if runner will slip off?
HTBT not accepted.

Casual safe, since there seems to be some doubt as to the runner's status. Call time if all play is stopped and the fielder isn't taking the tag off and the runner isn't moving.
