Ben Sears to Connor Esterhuizen, out Caught by Katene Clarke!! Clarke isn't sure about the catch but what an effort! That is sensational from the debutant! It's being checked by the third umpire. Pulled in the air, he comes running in from the square leg boundary and is fully committed to go for the catch. Puts in a full stretch forward dive, gets his fingers under the ball and plucks it above the turf. Incredible work. Third umpire has no problems with it and Esterhuizen has to go. Barely any celebration from Clarke who is treating it as business as usual. Very placid. Connor Esterhuizen c Katene Clarke b Ben Sears 57(36) [4s-7 6s-3]
