The New Zealand player, Glenn Phillips, has showed some great acrobatic fielding skill during the third Test between New Zealand and West Indies at the Bay Oval in Mount Maunganui.
New Zealand’s Glen Phillips is always known for showing some fantastic fielding skills in the game. Whether he stands at the mid-on, mid-off, or point or backward point region, Philips gives his all and shows energy to make a difference in the field for the Blackcaps. Such an incident took place during the ongoing 3rd Test match between New Zealand and West Indies at the Bay Oval in Mount Maunganui.
The Incident took place on the 4th day of the Test match when Ajaz Patel bowled a delivery away from the off-stump of West Indies’ number 10 batter, Jayden Seales. The left handed bat look to smash the ball for a boundary true made of region but Philips was attentive as he dived in the air to stop the ball with his right hand.
That was an excellent feeling from the queue as the ball was going with full force, and Philips was quite a way away from the ball. His teammates clapped for the top effort from Phillips. Overall, it has been a superb Test match for both sides.

Winning the toss, West Indies captain Roston Chase decided to bowl first. But perhaps he did expect the home opening pair of Devon Conway and Tom Latham to post a massive stand of 323 runs for the first wicket, with the latter smashing 227 runs in 367 balls with the help of 31 boundaries. New Zealand ended with 575 runs in their first innings.

However, the West Indies showed some great fight in their first innings with the bat as Brendon King celebrated his half-century while Kevin Hodge remained unbeaten on 123 runs with the help of 15 boundaries. Some of the middle-order batters for the tourists got starts but failed to convert them into big scores as they bundled out for 420.
In reply, New Zealand blasted their way to 306 in just 54 overs with both Latham and Conway notching their respective centuries in the second innings to give the bowlers enough chance to pick 10 wickets in the fourth innings. But the two Caribbean openers saw the tricky 16 overs beautifully without losing any wickets heading into the final day of the series.
