Nathan Ellis makes an uncertain catch look easy

This had happened during 11th over of Thunder's run chase. On second delivery, Scott Boland had bowled a short of a length ball on line of middle stump as Khawaja heaved his bat for depositing it into stands. Nathan Ellis who was standing at deep square leg looked uncertain while attempting catch. But he n judged ball well and took a spectacular catch and lay flat on ground. This outstanding catch broked a 96-run opening stand between Khawaja and Alex Hales. Khawaja walked back for a 29-ball 35.

''Gets it away but straight down throat. Oh! He didn't pick it up Nathan Ellis and in end, he did. He didn't pick it up he has done a great job because that was hit very hard. Oh! In end, a split second'', said commentators on air.
