W
Michael Bracewell to Mulder, out Caught by Ravindra!! Another one bites the dust! Slow through the air and on a length on off, Mulder kneels down on one knee and goes for the slog sweep but there are two things working against him - he is hitting to the bigger side of the ground and he is hitting it into the wind. Doesn't get the required power and elevation behind the shot. Ravindra at deep square leg takes a few steps in front and pouches it safely. Mulder c Ravindra b Michael Bracewell 8(13) [4s-1]
