Capture filter not capturing anything

I am running Ubuntu 20.04.

I am capturing using a network tap on a computer that has a separate NIC not configured with an IP address.

When I run a capture using 'host xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx' as a capture filter it does not capture anything even though I know there is traffic to that address. I am assuming this is because there is no traffic destined to or sourced from the NIC I am capturing on?

Is there a capture filter available that could capture traffic to and from a particular IP address in this scenario?
