24.3
Kuhnemann to Kamindu Mendis, out Caught by Mitchell Starc!! Goes again but this one is straight down the fielder's throat! Poor shot selection this time, he'd already just got a boundary and there wasn't any real need to go after another one. Was tossed up full on middle, bit of drop and turn, Kamindu Mendis stepped out looking to slog it away but didn't get the timing this time. Came off the inner half and went high, Starc was down there at cow corner just for this and he took an easy catch. Kamindu Mendis c Mitchell Starc b Kuhnemann 32(26) [4s-4 6s-1]
