On the final delivery of the first over, Starc went for the yorker but the delivery turned out to be a low full toss. Mayers drilled it straight back at him but Starc managed to stay low in his follow through and he went for the catch.
The ball stuck onto his left hand and he came up with a brilliant catch.
