The first test match between England and India is underway at Trent Bridge, Nottingham. India’s wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant took an outstanding catch to dismiss Dominic Sibley in the second innings.
India’s pacer Jasprit Bumrah bowled a delivery wide outside off stump which Sibley instinctively tried to play at the ball and poked it behind the stumps. The ball flew to Rishabh Pant’s left who dived to complete a splendid catch. Sibley’s stay at the crease ended after 133 balls, scoring 28 runs.

The England team is in a spot of bother having lost their top three for 135. Rory Burns was dismissed by Mohammad Siraj in the fifteenth over of the innings as Burns nicked a delivery to the wicket-keeper Rishabh Pant. Soon Zak Crawley followed Burns back to the pavilion after he edged a delivery in Jasprit Bumrah’s over.
Sibley’s catch was Rishabh Pant’s third catch in the innings, having being involved in all the dismissals so far in the innings.
