Jediah Blades to Ackeem Auguste, out Caught by McDermott!! He's picked out the man. Short and wide, hit me ball, Auguste frees his arms for a slap. Went hard, no intentions to keep it down but the problem was he didn't place it right. The sweeper moved to the left and pouched a comfortable catch to cut short Auguste's great stay. He was a dream to watch. The shot selection, the timing.. everything was so pure about him today. Shame he missed out on a hundred. A fan in the stands was hoping Auguste made a hundred and she will be gutted. Ackeem Auguste c McDermott b Jediah Blades 73(35) [4s-6 6s-4]
