In a moment of swift athleticism, England’s wicketkeeper Jos Buttler showcased his impeccable skills as he claimed a crucial catch to dismiss Mohammed Shami. The dismissal further solidified England’s position, leaving India with a dwindling tail-end.

Mark Wood, the fiery pacer, unleashed a rapid delivery, clocking in at a menacing 145.8kph. The ball, delivered slightly fuller than a length outside off, enticed Shami into a hesitant push.

With his feet rooted to the ground, Shami managed only a faint nick, a touch imperceptible to the untrained eye but not to the vigilant Buttler.

Buttler, ever-alert behind the stumps, reacted swiftly, snatching the ball cleanly and securing Shami’s wicket with ease.

Shami, having contributed just a solitary run from five deliveries, had no choice but to trudge back to the pavilion, leaving India’s tail-enders facing a daunting task against England’s determined bowling attack.
