17.3

Jordan to Pope, out Caught by Stanlake!! Straight to short third man.

The tossed up googly and Matthew Short comes down the track to loft, the ball turns away to take the leading-edge, it is always going away from Ellis at extra-cover, he tracks back and goes reverse-cup over his head, has it in his grasp till he falls and the elbows hit the ground, then it bobbles out but as he tumbles over the ball lands on the chest and he clutches on. That could be the game-winning catch. He is mobbed by his mates. Matthew Short c Nathan Ellis b Waqar Salamkheil 52(29) [4s-3 6s-4]
