Watch Chris Jordan's astonishing bit of fielding in final T20I

Sussex's Chris Jordan has a well-earned reputation for his incredible fiedling, but his latest effort in England's final T20I of their series against India might be his best yet.

With India going along at nearly 11 runs per over in the 14th over, Suryakumar Yadav hit the ball hard some distance to Chris Jordan's right at long on, who sped round the boundary rope, stuck out his right hand and plucked the ball out of the air. Before his momentum carried him over the rope - but giving his teammate enough time to get into position - he flicked the ball to Jason Roy who completed the catch, unable to contain his shocked laughter at what he has just witnessed.

The best fielder on the PLANET. 🌍💫

The incredible effort was not enough to stop India's rapid progress, however, and the home side racked up a huge 224 for 2 from their 20 overs having been inserted at the toss. CJ and his Sussex teammate Jofra both went wicketless and conceded 57 and 43 from their respective four overs. 

England's were on course to pull of an incredible chase until the 13th over when Jos Buttler and Dawid Malan's 130-run partnership came to an end. Wickets tumbled quickly thereafter and England were eventually restricted to 188 for 8, handing India a 36-run win and a 3-2 series victory. CJ made 11 batting at number eight and Jofra one from number nine.
