S Thakur to R Taylor, Take a bow! Sanju Samson. What a piece of fielding from Samson. Saved four runs for his side. Full delivery on middle, Taylor looks to hammer it over deep mid-wicket. The ball looks like it is going over the ropes but Samson dives, catches the ball and just before he falls on the ground, he throws the ball back in. The umpire wants to check whether it is a clean save. The replays roll in and they show that Samson has done a terrific job. Only two in the end.
