In an exhilarating moment during England versus West Indies Lords Test, Mikyle Louis pulled off a brilliant piece of fielding as his direct throw hit the bullseye to dismiss Shoaib Bashir with England losing its ninth wicket.

James Anderson’s final Test at Lords against West Indies began on a strong note as the hosts bundled the visitors at 121 in the first innings. 

In reply, Zak Crawley, Ollie Pope, Joe Root, Harry Brook, and Jamie Smith scored a half-century each to steer England to a comfortable first-innings lead.

However, West Indies bounced back on Day 2 and chipped in a few quick wickets to put a stoppage on the flow of runs. Regardless, Jamie Smith continued to fight. And to help him, tailender Shoaib Bashir took charge on the other end.

Mikyle Louis Hits Bullseye!

Meanwhile, in the 90th over, Jamie Smith dabbed to deep cover, where Mikyle Louis aborted an attempt to catch because he couldn't get under the ball in time. 

However, Louis saw Shoaib Bashir trying to steal a second run to bring Smith back on strike. He instantly collected the ball and saw only a single stump to aim from that angle.

He shot a bullseye throw from the deep that crashed the stumps with Bashir short of his crease. Mikyle Louis certainly surprised himself as he celebrated like a child, with his teammates surrounding him to celebrate the jubilant moment.

With that, England were nine down at 367, and eventually, Jamie Smith lost his battle to Jayden Seales as the hosts were wrapped for 371 runs with a significant first-innings lead at hand.
