It's one of the most beautiful slip catches you'll ever see! Jonny Bairstow, an England middle-order batsman, took a one-handed screamer at second slip during the third Test at Leeds, Headingley, on Friday. The ball was headed in-between Joe Root and Jonny Bairstow after coming off a thickish outside edge. Bairstow extended his left hand, and the ball became lodged in it. At first slip, Root, who was standing next to him, was awestruck by the catch.
Here is the phenomenal catch from Bairstow:

The wicket of Rahul was just what the hosts needed after a well-fought session. Rahul departed at the stroke of lunch and the wicket would give England momentum, not that they need after mammoth first-innings lead.
Pacer Craig Overton playing his first Test of the series picked up the prized scalp of the India opener. It was unfortunate to see Rahul dismissed as he had got his eye in and was looking set for a big one. He played 54 balls and scored wight runs.
