54.3
W
Atkinson to Karun Nair, out Caught by Jamie Smith!! Gone now!! On a length and hits the deck hard, generates steep bounce and surprises Karun Nair. He was tentative in his crease and prodded at it. The steep bounce means it takes a bit of the glove and the shoulder of the blade. Jamie Smith dives to his right to complete a neat catch. That dropped catch from Brook didn't prove costly, Karun Nair out for 17 runs. He walks back with a solemn look on his face. Karun Nair c Jamie Smith b Atkinson 17(32) [4s-3]
