The wicket was claimed by Liam Livingstone, who had the last laugh in this exchange. Livingstone bowled a length delivery that turned out to be a googly, targeting the middle stump. Stoinis, trying to accelerate the run rate, went for a powerful heave, but he failed to get the necessary distance on the shot.

As the ball spiraled at a steep angle towards the deep mid-wicket boundary, the English fielder Jonny Bairstow stationed himself perfectly. With exceptional athleticism, Bairstow leaped and plucked the ball with just one hand, showcasing remarkable fielding skills. He managed to maintain his poise and landed on the lush outfield without spilling the catch.
