Want to catch like Ben Stokes?

Then drop whatever you're doing and make sure you watch the Sky Sports slip catching demonstration ahead of day two of the fourth Ashes Test, at Trent Bridge, live on Sky Sports Ashes from 10am on Friday.

Stokes pulled off a blinder to remove Adam Voges on the opening day, diving athletically to take the ball behind him, as Stuart Broad (8-15) ran amok.

But he wasn't alone as Alastair Cook, Joe Root and Ian Bell all held decent chances to put the skids under Australia.

So just how hard is it to field in the slips and what techniques do you need to know? Can the Ian Botham hands-on-knees style work for you? Where in the slips do you prefer to stand?

You'll be in safe hands as three of our experts demonstrate the art of taking each edge cleanly.

Former Australia captain Ricky Ponting (196 Test catches) will be installed at second slip, flanked by former England skippers Mike Atherton (83 catches) at first and Nasser Hussain (67 catches) at third.

This is another masterclass you won't want to miss!
