Lungi Ngidi to Jos Buttler, OUT! CAUGHT! What a superb catch from the South African skipper David Miller! Ngidi bowls it full on off. Buttler looks to hit it down the ground again. However, he miscues it and the ball goes high in the air as he gets a top edge. The ball goes almost towards the long off region. Miller at mid off runs back and gets under it quite well to finish the catch quite comfortably in the end. These are one of the toughest catches to take and all credit goes to Miller for taking it with such class and finesse.
