Rachin Ravindra to Jacob Bethell, out Caught by Glenn Phillips!! What a catch that is. That man Phillips again. He dives forward at deep mid-wicket and takes it with two hands. Just inches off the ground. Made it look so easy too. It's a flat good length delivery on off, Jacob Bethell goes on the back foot and pulls flat, any other fielder would've found it difficult but this man is a freak. A freak of another level. What can he not do on a cricket field? The way he dived forward and rolled his body after taking that was key and ensured the ball had no chance of coming out of his grasp. Hours of practice in the gym and those strong calves and hammies helping Phillips there. Jacob Bethell c Glenn Phillips b Rachin Ravindra 21(16) [4s-4]
