Nathan Smith to Jamie Smith, out Caught by Daryl Mitchell!! That's a brilliant catch by Mitchell. He's standing at first slip and in a conventional position especially with Blundell standing up to the stumps. The ball goes low to him and he bends down, gets his fingers under the ball and scoops it up. The line was the key here from Nathan Smith - he went wider of off-stump and lured Jamie Smith into the drive, the keeper-batter couldn't resist and goes for the expansive shot, the outside-edge goes low to first slip and Mitchell takes care of the rest. This is a superb spell from Nathan Smith this morning, he started the day by trapping Root LBW and now has Jamie Smith caught in the slip cordon. Jamie Smith c Daryl Mitchell b Nathan Smith 1(12)
