Ben Stokes produced one of the best catches ever seen in the Cricket World Cup with a flying one-handed effort against South Africa.
Having already made an impact with the bat, Stokes showed what a star talent he is by producing an amazing effort out on the boundary that left his team-mates, and even Stokes himself, lost for words.
Stokes had the majority of the sell-out crowd on its feet following a sensational catch which removed Andile Phehlukwayo.
Have you EVER seen a better catch? 🔥

Moving backwards towards the boundary at deep midwicket, the all-rounder somehow stretched to pluck the ball out of the air with his right hand and deny a certain six.
The catch was just part of a huge impact from Stokes in the game, as he also scored 89 runs and took the final two wickets as England completed a 104-run victory to get their World Cup bid off to a flying start.
"I panicked a bit" 😅
