Michael Rae to Jayden Seales, out Anderson Phillip Run Out!! Anderson Phillip is out. Was a long way out of the crease. Excellent presence of mind from the sub fielder Clarke. Seales pushed this towards backward point and there was an air of hesitation for a quick single. Seales took a few steps down the pitch and that prompted his partner to run more than halfway down the pitch. By the time he turned back, it was too late. The fielder at backward point looked to hit direct at the bowling end and missed, the back up fielder from mid-on put in a full length dive, collected the ball with both hands and under-armed it onto the stumps. Way short. Anderson Phillip run out (Conway/(sub)Kristian Clarke) 5(50)
