Mark Adair to Devon Conway, out Caught by Liam McCarthy!! That's an exceptional catch from the debutant! Talk about getting in the thick of things early and Liam McCarthy has pulled off a blinder. Pitched up delivery swinging towards the pads. Devon Conway flicks it with good timing but doesn't bother to keep it down. Liam McCarthy at short mid-wicket leaps to his left like a goalkeeper and grabs it with both hands before tumbling down. He had very less time to react but he showed razor sharp reflexes and made it look simple. The young man will savour this moment for a long long time.
