Ben Sears to Ben Duckett, out Caught by Daryl Mitchell!! And on his return to the bowling crease, Ben Sears gets this to rise on Duckett and has him caught at slip. Mitchell catches the ball, roars and fist pumps. Short of a length delivery angling in and moving away with a lot of lift, Duckett gloves it as he was surprised by the lift. Mitchell, who may have been blinded by the keeper standing up to the stumps, moved to the left and made it look simple. Sears jumps and punches the air in delight.
