Gardner to Knight, out Caught by Phoebe Litchfield!! Knight's resistance comes to an end! Gardner has a beaming smile on her face. Just the breakthrough that Australia were searching for and it has eventually come. Turning in sharply from a back of a length towards leg-stump, Knight hangs back and nudges it straight to Litchfield at short leg. She shows good reflexes as she crouches and takes a sharp catch with both hands. Knight c Phoebe Litchfield b Gardner 32(75) [4s-4]
