Michael Bracewell to Charith Asalanka, OUT! IN THE AIR AND TAKEN! WHAT A GREAT CATCH FROM MATT HENRY! Bracewell offers some flight on this one and pitches it around off, on a fuller length, Charith Asalanka clears his front foot and creates some room for himself. Goes through the line and hits it aerially and inside-out to clear the long off fence. Matt Henry though runs to his right and plucks the ball from the air by stretching his hands out. He shows great sharp awareness as he tosses the ball up before running into the fence with momentum. He balances himself, comes back into the field of play, and pouches it safely on the second attempt. The TV umpire is summoned to check for a fair catch and it is deemed as a clean catch. Spin doing the work for New Zealand and the tourists are now 160/3 with Charith Asalanka departing on a five-ball duck.
