Spinner Tod Murhpy was bowling the 12th over of the innings, and Rogers was on strike on the 5th ball of the over. Murphy bowled a wider delivery, Rogers tried to slog sweep, but he just managed a top edge. He could not connect it properly, and he was unlucky that the ball went toward Jordan.
Jordan was standing at the long-on boundary, and he came running toward the ball and judged it to perfection. He put in a full forward dive and grabbed the ball with both hands. On first look, it looked like the ball popped up, but it was a clear match on review. It is certain that Jordan is one of the best fielders in the game.
