During the second day of the practice match, Shaw grabbed a stunning catch to dismiss Tim Paine for 44.

In the final session, speedster Umesh Yadav tried to test Paine with short pitch stuff and the latter went for a pull of one such delivery. He got a decent amount of bat to it but Shaw, who was stationed at square leg, managed to pluck one out of the thin air.

Here’s the video:

Coming to the match, India ‘A’ posted 247/9 (declared) in their first innings on the back of skipper Ajinkya Rahane’s unbeaten 117 and Cheteshwar Pujara’s 54.

In reply, the hosts were reeling at 98/5 before youngster Cameron Green and Paine kept India ‘A’ bowlers at bay with a 104-run stand.

With one more day’s play remaining, the warm-up match is likely to end in a draw.
