WHAT A CATCH!

Jason Roy looks to go big again, but picks out Ravi Jadeja on the long on boundary.

He dives and takes a brilliant low catch ðÂÂÂÂÂÂ#CWC19 | #ENGvIND

That's catch of the tournament for me. That should be declared as Ravindra Jadeja's wicket. #EngvsInd #CWC2019

Top catch! Outstanding from Ravindra Jadeja to dismiss Jason Roy. #CWC19. Never easy diving forward to catch a low dipping ball. @imjadeja #IndvEng

If India go on to win the #INDvENG match, I really wish that the 12th man would get the #motm award. The primary reason India are still in this match is that unbelievable catch by Jadeja to get rid of Jason Roy. One for the ages ðÂÂÂÂÂÂðÂÂÂÂ»

After winning the toss, Roy (66 off 57) and Bairstow (111 off 109) added 160 runs in 22 overs to give a flying start to the hosts' innings.

India need 38 runs to win the match and qualify for the semis.
