Kane Richardson, who brought the fifth over from Australia, bowled the shot pitch of the last ball of the over. Butler, who had tested the ball, immediately went to the off-stump and turned back and sent the ball straight into the stadium. The spectator sitting behind also tried to catch the catch, but that too failed.
