Matt Henry to Linde, out Caught by Mitchell!! Mitchell you beaut! What a catch and he is pumped. Why not. He has taken a blinder, running to his right at long-on. It's slower and short outside off, Linde pulls well and it's into the gap, looks to be falling safely till Mitchell runs and dives with two hands to take a superb catch. The glasses fall to ground but Mitchell has the ball tightly in his grasp. Gets up and punches the air. The New Zealand players run towards him to celebrate. Linde c Mitchell b Matt Henry 10(10) [4s-1]

Matt Henry to Brevis, out Caught by Michael Bracewell!! Such calmness from Bracewell at deep mid-wicket. He is on the edge of the boundary ropes and he calmly takes it, realises he is going over, so flicks it back, goes out and comes back in to take it. But is the right foot touching the rope? When the ball is in his hand, the right foot seems to be just away from the rope. Interestingly there's no cushion there where Bracewell's right foot is. That's crucial for if there was a cushion, Bracewell would have made contact with it. Such are the fine margins which can win you tournaments. A short delivery at Brevis who pulls and it's high and a bit more elevation would have seen that go over. Bracewell though is so composed and pulls off such a massive catch with the match on the line. The third ump has a look at the replays and gives it out, going with Bracewell. Brevis c Michael Bracewell b Matt Henry 31(16) [4s-1 6s-3]
