Matt Henry to Harry Brook, out Caught by Daryl Mitchell!! Tell you what, New Zealand have got very lucky with this wicket. The ball flew off the outside edge, took the deflection from Tom Blundell's gloves (keeper is up) and went absolutely straight to Mitchell at slip and not anywhere else. Henry kept probing around the off stump, few times in the good length zone, few slightly back of a length. He pinned Brook to the crease again in the defence. Brook got a thick edge, Blundell, who is standing up, has no time to react. Maybe Henry deserved this piece of luck for some relentless bowling in the channel. Brook couldn't come forward or go properly on the back foot. The ball nipped away when he was trying to defend and this is a big wicket. No wonder Tom Blundell, Henry and Co. celebrated this loud.
