From Collingwood to Stokes and Taylor to Foakes – England’s best catches

Chris Jordan produced a stunning piece of fielding to set up a catch for Jason Roy in England’s T20 international against India.

Jordan did the spadework, brilliantly catching the ball one-handed as he raced towards the boundary before throwing it back infield to Roy, leaving his team-mate laughing as he completed the dismissal of Suryakumar Yadav in Ahmedabad.

It is the latest memorable catches of recent times for England and the PA news agency looks at some of the others here.

India were racing away from England in the deciding one-day international in Ahmedabad when Suryakumar Yadav hammered what seemed a certain six off Adil Rashid, only for Jordan to sprint and pluck a magnificent one-handed catch out of thin air. His momentum was carrying him at speed over the boundary rope but he made a perfect offload to the waiting Jason Roy, who was laughing in disbelief even as he completed his simple part of the bargain.
