Under the captaincy of Dean Elgar, South Africa is completely dominating the ongoing Lord’s Test against England as the Proteas managed to take a lead of more than 150 runs. On Day 3 of the Test, England was in need of some quick wickets, and the hosts got the much-needed breakthrough in the very first over of the day, and it was due to the brilliance of Stuart Broad who was fielding at mid-on.
In an over bowled by Matthew Potts, on the third delivery, Stuart Broad churned out a one-handed stunner out of thin air to send Rabada packing. Potts had bowled a short delivery, and Rabada decided to take it on and he pulled the ball. Broad, jumped high in the air to take a one-handed ripper at mid-on to dismiss Rabada. After taking the catch, Broad was as surprised as the rest of his teammates.
