David Warner started his innings smoothly but was taken aback by a brilliant delivery from Mark Wood. Wood's inch perfect delivery nibbled the side of Warner's bat and went straight to wicketkeeper Jos Buttler. It was a big wicket for the Englishman.

2) Jason Roy's excellent catch to dismiss Glen Maxwell

Jason Roy took a jaw-dropping catch in the deep to dismiss Glen Maxwell. The Australian attempted a six of Mark Wood's delivery.

The ball was going past the boundary line but out of nowhere, Roy took the catch. Roy took it with his foot just a few millimetres away from the boundary lineup.

He used his presence of mind by tossing it upwards again as he went inside the rope but quickly came in and took the catch again.
