Harshal Patel to Brevis, out Caught by Kamindu Mendis!! Needed something special to stop this man and Kamindu has pulled off one of the catches of the season at long-off. This is a half-volley outside off, Brevis absolutely belts the loft flat and it is curving away all the time, Kamindu though is ambidextrous as you saw when he was bowling, he goes with both hands - more like a football goalie trying to get it wide of the post. Here he shows great hands and on the full-stretch dive he manages to hang on. And when he landed ensures he has the technique not to let the elbows hit the ground hard which would have allowed the ball to go down. Gets up and just celebrates with a wide smile. Cummins is thrilled as are his SRH mates, the SRH skipper the first to lift and hug Kamindu. Meanwhile Brevis is stunned and gets a pat on the back from the CSK colleagues on the way back.
