David Willey: England all-rounder takes superb catch to snare the wicket of Sabbir Rahman during ODI in Dhaka
Yorkshire star took incredible, athletic grab to give debutant Jake Ball and England their second wicket of the innings
JAKE BALL has enjoyed a stunning start to his England one-day international career.
The Nottinghamshire seamer, 24, grabbed a wicket in his first over before bagging a second minutes later.
But he's got Yorkshire all-rounder David Willey to thank after he took a sensational catch on the boundary to snare Sabbir Rahman.
The Bangladesh batsman struck the ball with real purpose with the hosts chasing 310 to win in Dhaka.
The giant shot appeared to be sailing over the ropes for an enormous six before Willey leapt, stuck a hand up and grabbed the ball as he himself began to fall over the boundary.
