On Day 2 of the Adelaide Test that belonged entirely to David Warner, Australia captain Tim Paine managed to attract the limelight for a whi🉐le by taking a blinder behind the stumps. He took a stunning diving catch to dismiss Iftikhar Ah𝔍med.
The instance happened in the 31st over of Pakistan’s first innings that was bowled by Michell Starc. The Australian speedster was spotted exchanging some words with Iftikhar in the previous over to distract his focus.
On the second delivery of the 31st over, Iftikhar attempted to play a fine cut on a short-pitched delivery of Starc. However, the ♏ball went past the will꧃ow while taking a thick edge. Paine, who was the wicket-keeper, plucked a one-handed stunner while diving to his right.
Here’s the video:

Earlier in the day, Warner became the second Australian to smash a triple century after Matthew Hayden. Further, Steve Smit🐟h 🤪also became the fastest to the elusive 7000-run club in the longer format.
