Lorcan Tucker pouches that safely. A huge appeal there for caught behind and the batter is seen walking. The finger then goes up. To 'walk' on your debut when the umpire appeared uncertain tells a lot about you as an individual. Not a debut to remember for Dane Cleaver but this act of sportsmanship will be remembered by many. 38/3

2.5 OUT! WHAT A CATCH THAT IS! Stunning from Santner! Andy Balbirnie steps out, this is on a length and on off. He looks to loft it over covers but it goes more off the splice.
