Rohit Sharma 81(57)
20.6
Maxwell to Rohit, out Caught&Bowled!! Oh what a catch! Maxwell does a "oh how did I take that" reaction. This was hit back fairly quick towards his head, he just tried to take evasive action, yet kept some eye on the ball for his right hand to go up and the fingers clutched the ball in his palms so nicely. Not even a juggle. Outstanding reflex catch that. And Maxwell does it again. Came on for an over and got Washi, now comes on and gets Rohit. This was turning back in, Ro was itching to go big, stayed leg-side for a loft, but he wasn't to the pitch of this ball so hit it straighter than he wanted to. Rohit c and b Maxwell 81(57) [4s-5 6s-6]
