During the game, Ben Stokes pulled off a sensational catch in the penultimate over of India’s innings to dismiss all-rounder Hardik Pandya.
It all happened in the 19th over when England pacer Mark Wood banged the ball short outside off stump, and Pandya slapped the white leather towards the covers for a flat hit. But, Stokes ex🐻hibited superior cricketing athleticism and dived towards his left to take a screamer.
