During Sri Lanka’s innings, the batsman attempted to walk Nathan Lyon. But this ball went close to the bag and the bat and headed for the slide. In such a situation, many players, including the wicketkeeper, began to appeal for LBW. During this, Tainan Warner made a brilliant catch on the slips. The video of his capture is increasingly viral on social networks. Warner’s fitness is being highly praised.
