Rachin Ravindra to Aiden Markram, out Caught by Daryl Mitchell!! Aiden Markram was dropped on 3 by Rachin Ravindra and the latter has made amends. It was fired in towards middle and leg, Markram plays the loft down the ground and doesn't quite find the middle of the bat. Skews it off the thick inside half and sends it flat towards the man at long-on. Mitchell ran forward and put in a full length dive to claim it inches above the turf. It looked touch-and-go during the replays, but the telly umpire was content with the side-on replays to confirm the verdict. Mitchell never claimed the catch though, he straightway hinted that he was not sure and prompted the umpires to take it upstairs. Aiden Markram c Daryl Mitchell b Rachin Ravindra 18(20) [4s-1 6s-1]

It was dug in short outside off, flies past the slashing blade and deflects off glove to hit the keeper on the left cheek. The fielders look a bit concerned, but the physio rushes out to check on Seifert. Doesn't appear to be anything serious and we are good to go again...Seifert tried to take it with his gloves pointing towards the bowler, but the ball wobbled late and ended up deflecting off the inside part of his mitts. Good news for the Kiwis as Seifert cleared the concussion test...
