Kieron Pollard’s sarcastic gaze
The game saw a memorable moment in the 91st ball of the second innings when Tymal Mills took the crucial wicket of David Willey. Willey, having scored a brisk 21 off 14 balls with four fours, attempted to clear the long-on boundary but found himself caught by Kieron Pollard. After taking the catch with ease, Pollard gave a playful, sarcastic glance at the crowd, who had been vocally hoping for him to drop it. Pollard’s funny interaction with the spectators added a touch of humor to an otherwise intense game.
