OverMarco Jansen to Phil Salt, SIX
low full toss outside off, Salt seems to have mistimed it, but there was enough bottom hand power and it went sailing towards Maphaka at deep mid-wicket. He was very close to the ropes and ended up misjudging it. Took the catch, then the momentum threw him backwards, and as he tried to release the ball, the heel was in contact with the ropes...
