In the 43rd over, Maxwell played a pull shot off the third ball, bowled by Mark Wood. It was sailing for s ix, but Roy produced a stunning catch at the deep the send back dangerous Maxwell.
The England fielder timed his jump to perfection, but he failed to control the landing. To keep the ball in play, he released it in the air, and after landing outside the ground, jumped back to complete the catch.
