4

Lyon to Elgar, out Caught by Sayers!! Niceeee Garry! Lyon strikes! This should lift the spirit of the Aussies. Elgar was struggling against Lyon. This time Elgar used his feet in an attempt to get to the pitch of the ball. Doesn't succeed, but still looks to flick it through the on-side. The ball spins a tad, takes the leading edge and balloons up towards mid-off, where Sayers takes a jumping catch. The gritty centurion from the previous game has to take the long walk back.
