Nathan Sowter bowled outside off stump, and Pretorius went for a lofted drive towards the long-off boundary where Jacks was positioned. The England all-rounder moved quickly to the ball, took the catch, then threw it up in the air as he crossed the boundary line. Jacks then executed a brilliant dive to secure the ball and complete the dismissal. The catch came on the 49th ball of London Spirit's innings.
