Narine to Finn Allen, out Caught by Matthew Tromp!! Allen has to go. Fails to time it and the man at deep mid takes it. He juggled it once thinking he will step back on the ropes but he was inside it and had the wits to catch it easily after pushing it in the air. The batter wanted to employ the pull but got more height on this one rather than distance. The man at fence took it on the edge. A good knock from the Kiwi, again, has come to an end. The skipper has ensured he has delivered the much vital breakthrough. Finn Allen c Matthew Tromp b Narine 52(27) [4s-5 6s-4]
