Southee to Buttler, SIX. Oh! There comes a crowd catch. That bloke is absolutely pumped, holds the ball for an eternity while having his hands aloft. He will get 50 grand for claiming that catch and gee, what wild celebrations. Buttler miscued the pull, straight off the top-edge and straight into the hands of spectator over deep backward square leg. BTW, that's a one-handed catch mind you

Southee to Buttler, FOUR, shuffles across and flick-pulls this off his hip, superbly placed. Needles the gap between fine leg and deep square with great precision
