Pete Hanscomb found a way to contribute to the Australian effort today, despite being dropped for Mitch Marsh.

On as a sub fielder, Handscomb made a huge amount of ground to take a brilliant catch to dismiss Dawid Malan, who had made an imperious century and looked almost unshiftable.

The catch ended up bringing about a collapse of 6/35 in 51 balls, as England crashed 4/368 to 403 all out.

Watch it here:

Fans were blown away by the quality of the catch:

 

Many spotted the irony of Handscomb taking the catch after Mitch Marsh shelled an easy one at slips yesterday:

 

 The Aussies rolled the Poms for 403 right on lunch today, and will start their batting innings after the lunch break.
