England vs South Africa: Ben Stokes Wont Stop Hugging Stuart Broad After He Takes One-Handed Screamer In 1st Test. Watch

Dean Elgar-led South Africa are completely dominating the ongoing Lord’s Test against England as they managed to take their lead past the 120-run mark. On the third day, England were 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 positioned at mid-on. In an over bowled by Matthew Potts, on the third delivery, Broad plucked the ball 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, leapt up in the air and he took a one-handed ripper at mid-on to dismiss Rabada. After taking the catch, Broad was as surprised as the rest of his teammates.

Oh Broady!
