Faf du Plessis takes sensational catch in South Africa's win over Sri Lanka
Saturday 14 January 2017 17:43, UK
South Africa's seamers were in fabulous form, taking 16 wickets between them on day three, as the Proteas stormed to victory over Sri Lanka in the third Test.
The standout moment though did not come from any of the bowlers though, rather it was captain Faf du Plessis, fielding at second slip, who stole the show.

Having already taken a sharp chance, low to his left, Du Plessis wowed not only the Wanderers crowd but also his team-mates with a staggering grab to dismiss Angelo Mathews.
The Sri Lanka skipper flashed at a ball outside off from Duanne Olivier and got a thick edge that looked to be sailing over the slips and away to the boundary. However, Du Plessis flung himself into the air and, at full stretch, clung on to a phenomenal one-handed catch above his head.
That left Sri Lanka four down but it did not take the Proteas long to pick up the remaining six wickets and seal the win by and innings and 118 runs.
