The Day 3 of the Adelaide Test witnessed a breathtaking moment, courtesy Nathan Lyon. The off-spinner pulled off a gravity-defying catch to dismiss Moeen Ali. Lyon does not just spin a web around English batsman with his off-spin bowling but his fielding too.

In the 49th over of the second innings of England on Day 3, Lyon dismissed Ali at 25. Ali was trying to attack Lyon as he stepped out on the first ball miscuing it in no man’s land. But he ran out of luck the second time.

Lyon’s delivery gripped a bit on the surface which led to Ali playing the shot early. The left-handed batsman ended up playing the ball in the air to Lyon’s left-hand side. The 30-year-old dived to his wrong side and took a one-handed blinder to dismiss him.

Here’s the video of the wicket which is going viral on the internet:
