Henry Nicholls provided some resistance after Anderson had snared three, with a valiant 30 off 38 deliveries but was eventually outdone by some Ollie Pope genius in the field, further stamping Bazball's authority in the game. In the 25th over, Leach from around the wicket delivered a ball at the stumps with minimal turn to the left-hander, tempting him into a reverse sweep. However, the kookaburra caught a tiny edge before looping up in the air briefly. Pope, stationed at short leg, instinctively flopped around in his spot before putting in a last-ditch desperate dive to his left, only to emerge with a one-handed stunner.

Daryl Mitchell was the next to depart after a 13-run cameo, yet again victim to Pope's immaculate cricket brain. This time positioned at silly point in the 35th over, Pope was right at the edge of the pitch as he waited to pounce on a mistake by Daryl Mitchell. A loose defence off a straight delivery from Leach meant the ball was in the air for just a moment but it was enough for Pope as he leaned in and grabbed the ball out of thin air with his right hand. The two catches completely changed the dynamic of the game and are bound to make any and every highlight reel.
