Rilee Rossouw starred with the bat, smashing an unbeaten 81 off 54, to guide Somerset to a solid eight-wicket win with five balls to spare.

The 20th edition of the T20 Blast, England’s premier domestic T20 competition, got underway on Wednesday, and the two games played on the opening day have already seen some brilliant moments on the field.

In the first South Group fixture between 2021 finalists Kent and Somerset, Jordan Cox pulled off an outstanding fielding effort at the cow corner region to deprive Rilee Rossouw of what looked like a certain boundary.

With 61 required off 34 in a run-chase of 163, Rossouw heaved a full-toss from Afghanistan wrist-spinner Qais Ahmad in the vacant cow corner region, and Cox, known for his acrobatic fielding skills, sprinted across to his right from deep mid-wicket and dived to make a stop. However, the ball dribbled towards the rope as he made contact, and the 21-year-old, still in motion, managed to pull it back into play successfully to save two runs.

Watch the stunning fielding effort here:

In the other game of the day, Joe Root-led Yorkshire defeated Worcestershire by seven wickets at Headingley.
