Ben Stokes was in utter disbelief after Harry Brook pulled off a stunning catch to dismiss Wessly Madhevere on day three of the ongoing four-day Test between England and Zimbabwe at Trent Bridge.
Following on, Zimbabwe were four down for 142 runs when Madhevere joined Sikandar Raza in the middle. With Zimbabwe still trailing by 158 runs, the onus was on Madhevere and Raza to steady the ship and bat their team to a strong position.
The duo did steady the ship and took the score past the 200-run mark. With both batters well set, England needed something special to break the partnership, and the moment of brilliance was provided by Harry Brook. The England star pulled off an outrageous catch in the slip cordon to send back Madhevere and give his team a good start.

On the fourth ball of the 48th over, England captain Ben Stokes bowled a short ball just outside the off stump. The ball took off sharply, leaving Madhevere surprised. He ended up edging the ball towards the slip cordon. The ball looked set to fly over the slip fielders' heads, but Harry Brook had other ideas.
The England star leapt high up in the air and caught the ball with one hand, leaving Stokes absolutely stunned. Madhevere departed after scoring 31 runs off 36 balls with the help of 4 fours.

Talking about the game, Zimbabwe were on 222/6 at the time of writing this report. The visitors need to score at least 78 more runs to make England bat once again in the match. Raza was unbeaten on 50, and the onus will be on him to ensure that Zimbabwe avoid an innings defeat.
Earlier in the match, England piled up 565/6 (declared) in their first innings. Ollie Pope, Zak Crawley, and Ben Duckett scored centuries for the hosts while Harry Brook scored a fifty. In reply, Zimbabwe were all out for 265 runs in their first innings and were asked to follow on.
