The Vitality T20 Blast is underway in England. The competition between bat and ball has been exceptional and various young stars have set the stage on fire with their performances. Not only with the bat and ball there have been quite a few impressive fielding performances.

One such came during the game between Northamptonshire and Birmingham Bears at the county ground in Northampton on Wednesday (31st May). Josh Cobb was the hot soup of the game, especially after his magnificent effort in the field near boundary ropes.

It was during the 16th over of the Birmingham Bears innings when Rob Yates tried to dispatch the last ball of David Willey’s over for a six. The southpaw struck the shot powerfully and it seemed that it would clear the boundary rope at the leg region. But Josh Cobb plucked a blinder. He ran towards the left and timed his jump to perfection to gobble the ball.

Birmingham Bears thump Northamptonshire by 21 runs to bag important two points

Northamptonshire won the toss and opted to field first. Their decision to field first didn’t pay off as they were taken to the cleaners by the Birmingham Bears openers.

Alex Davies (46) and Rob Yates (71) smashed a sensational 100 runs for the opening partnership. Before Sam Hain chipped in with a crucial knock of unbeaten 48 runs to take his team to a total of 202 runs. For the bowling side, skipper David Willey, Andrew Tye, and Freddie Heldreich bagged two wickets each.

Chasing the target, Northamptonshire lost Chris Lynn (7) and Josh Cobb (3) early but Ricardo Vasconcelos (65) and skipper David Willey (33) kept their side in the hunt. They, however, kept losing wickets at regular intervals and could manage just 187 runs. For Birmingham Bears, Craig Miles was the star bowler as he picked 4 wickets and conceded 29 runs.
