Ruben Trumpelmann to Ryan Burl
OUT! RUN OUT! That is an exceptional piece of fielding from Gerhard Erasmus! Back of a length, on off and middle. Ryan Burl pulls it toward the deep mid-wicket region and gets calls for a double. Gerhard Erasmus sprints to his left hand picks up the delivery fast and throws it toward the non-striker's end. Brendan Taylor is a bit late reaching the bowler's end. He dives to get in time, but fails to get the better. The skipper stepping up when his team needs it the most!
