Nathan Smith to Towhid Hridoy, out Caught by Nicholls!! In the airrrr and that's a great catch to seal the win for NZ. Short of a length delivery on the stumps, Towhid looks to slog, mistimes. Deep mid-wicket runs in and dives full length to take it an inch from the ground. The third ump checks if it's a fair catch and it sure is.
