Glenn Phillips stunned everyone with his acrobatic catch on Day 2 of the 1st Test between New Zealand and England at Christchurch. This astonishing moment came in the 53rd over of England's innings. Tim Southee, the Kiwi stalwart bowled a wider delivery and Pope, who was at the striker's end facing Southee went for a cut shot. The batter timed the ball well and the ball was heading towards the rope. However, Phillips had some other plans. The fielder dived to his left at Gully and was completely airborne, parallel to the ground, to grab an absolute screamer. This excellent effort by Phillips ended the innings of Pope at 77 and provided a much-required break-through to New Zealand. This wicket broke a long-standing partnership of 150 runs between ollie Pope and Harry Brook. Watch the video here: Glenn Phillips adds another unbelievable catch to his career resume!
