Ben Dwarshuis to Matthew Short, out Caught by Mitchell Owen!! Short holes out in the deep! An off-cutter on a length and cutting across Short. He has to reach out. He goes for an expansive stroke downtown but only manages to miscue it to long-on. Owen settles himself under it and reverse-cups it nicely. An important breakthrough for Washington as a well-set Short could have been dangerous at the end of the innings. Matthew Short c Mitchell Owen b Ben Dwarshuis 39(34) [4s-2 6s-2]
