Heinrich Klaasen 51(52)
38.3
Zampa to Klaasen, out Caught by Finch!! Finchy's plan to hold Zampa back works wonders and who knows it better than the skipper himself. Finch takes a dolly of a catch and hurls it as high as he can to celebrate this vital moment in the game. Coming to the dismissal: Floaty legbreak outside off, Klaasen's eyes lit up on seeing the loop and went for the slogsweep, only to find a thick top-edge and offer catching practice to the square leg fielder. Klaasen c Finch b Zampa 51(52) [4s-3 6s-1]
