Jack Brassell to Innocent Kaia, out Caught by Gerhard Erasmus!! End of a superb knock by Innocent Kaia. Raza gives him a pat on his back as he starts walking back to the pavilion. This was a short and quick ball that hurried up the batsman. He lines up to play the pull, loses his shape, and the top edge has been taken by the fielder at mid-on.
