The third test match of the 2023 Ashes series between England and Australia began on 6 July at Headingley Ground. The fans could see a lot of emotion in the first day’s game. At the same time, Kangaroo wicketkeeper Alex Carey, who bowled out Johnny Bairstow in the Lord’s Test match, also came to prominence in this match due to his way of catching a catch. Alex Carey also used his lips to perfectly catch this catch.
In the last session of play on the first day of the Headingley Test, Australia took 263 in their first innings after Mitchell Marsh’s brilliant 118. Following this, the England team, coming out to bat, got the opener with a score of 18 from Ben Duckett, who delivered his catch to Carry in an attempt to play a Pat Cummins cut off.
Alex Carey used her lips to catch this catch. Actually, when the ball hit the duckling’s bat, it began to rise upwards. For this reason, Carrie had to jump in to catch the catch. In such a situation, due to her loss of balance, the ball slipped out of her gloves and stuck near the lips of her face. Carey kept the ball in the same spot as he hit the ground and balanced and completed the catch.
After seeing this catch, former England captain Eoin Morgan, who was present in the comment box at the time, couldn’t help but react and said that there was definitely a kiss.

At the same time, Marsh also took 1 wicket with the ball. When play for the day ended, Joe Root and Johnny Bairstow were batting for England at the time.
