Lucky are those who get to witness a hen’s teeth. Although the Scottish fans didn’t quite literally spot a hen at the Garage Cricket Stadium, Edinburgh Travis Head’s brilliant athleticism took centerstage as the Aussie plucked the ball out of thin air to put the Scotland unit on the back foot.

Eyeing a whitewash in the series, Australia got off to a good start  after chosing to field first in the toss as Aaron Hardie cleaned up Olly Hairs in the third over. But the counterattacks from George Munsey and Brandon McMullen acted as a bedrock for Scotland’s fighting total. The latter shone with a second back-to-back fifty against the same opposition before a gravity-defying take from Head stopped his immaculate ball-striking.

The fourth ball of the 17th over saw Marcus Stoinis bowl a back of a length delivery outside the off stump, angled into the right-hander from over the wicket. McMullen intended to get inside the line and swivel pull it over short fine leg. However, Head stationed at the position timed the leap perfectly to grasp the ball with his right hand and maintain his poise without spilling the ball. Subsequently, he took off his cap and paid respect in a celebratory manner, sparking applause in the Twitterverse for his excellent athleticism.

What a grab!
