Sam Billings, who only took the field on Sunday as a Covid replacement for Ben Foakes, grabbed an edge off Jack Leach that had lodged between his legs.
England had very little going their way in Test cricket in the recent past, but a change in the leadership group, has seen an upturn in fortunes for them. With Brendon McCullum appointed head coach and Ben Stokes given the Test captaincy, things suddenly seem to be going England's way. Their new brand of cricket has received widespread praise with results also going their way. Lady luck seems to be on the side of the English as well, as witnessed on Day 4 of the third and final Test at Headingley, Leeds. One crazy catch!Scorecard/clips: https://t.co/AIVHwaRwQv#ENGvNZ@SamBillings pic.twitter.com/91U64cr51b
During New Zealand's second innings, Neil Wagner was dismissed in unusual fashion when replacement wicketkeeper Sam Billings, who only took the field on Sunday as a Covid replacement for Ben Foakes, grabbed an edge off Jack Leach that had lodged between his legs.
The ball took a thick edge and bounced off Billings' body and fortunately for him lodged itself between his knees.
