Ben Sanderson to Weatherley, out Caught by Willey!! That should be the game. What a catch! This is the final, it is off the last recognised the batter, the set batter, the one who could take the opposition over the line, the ball stays up for a long time, but Willey keeps his calm and though he misjudges it a little, he hangs on. Length delivery, Weatherley lofts through the line and gets it high on the bat, he gets more height than distance. Willey comes in from long-on, steadies himself but then has to take a couple of steps back, hangs on over his head and falls on his back in relief.
