England captain Ben Stokes produced a moment of brilliance in the field on day three of the second Test between India and England in Vizag. Shreyas Iyer and Shubman Gill had added 81 runs for the second wicket, after James Anderson bowled a brilliant spell to dismiss Rohit Sharma and Yashasvi Jaiswal cheaply. It was then that Stokes pulled off a stunning catch to dismiss Iyer (29) off left-arm spinner Tom Hartley. Trying to hit Hartley over long-on, Iyer failed to middle the ball that turned. It resulted in a half-chance for mid-off fielder Stokes, who ran back almost 25 yards to get both hands to it and completed a spectacular effort. It was the third Indian wicket to fall on Sunday, which kept England in the game despite India building on their big first-innings lead.
