James Sales to Will Smeed, out Caught by Lewis McManus!! Outside edge and so well held. This is a key, key wicket for the Northants. Smeed rubs his helmet in disbelief and walks off. Full delivery outside off stump, Smeed looks to crash the drive hard through cover. Thick edge that was actually going close to where a first slip would be. There's no one to the keeper company so he goes with his right hand with a quick dive. Takes the catch clean and throws it up in the air to celebrate. Actually took the catch behind him. Third ump called to check if it's clean and the replays are pretty conclusive. No doubts about the catch. Will Smeed c Lewis McManus b James Sales 49(35) [4s-5 6s-2]
