Stunning doesn't do it justice.  Superman.

Morgan did brilliantly. He's had an excellent series.

The second catch was pretty incredible really.  To have the agility and speed of thought to pull that off in a split second was something special.

I really like the look of the ODI side now, especially when you think Buttler and Root have got to come back in.  A lot of good performances today, but David Willey just seems to have a bit of a Midas touch at the moment.

Can't say I agree with Morgan getting MOM when you look at what Maxwell did.  Scored runs when, initially, they were in a dodgy position; took two outstanding catches (one to dismiss Morgan when he could have won the game on his own) and bowled his overs without conceding the runs per over required.

Just seen the two Maxwell catches.

If there are any candidates to better his catch of Plunkett as the best of all time, I'd be interest to see them

Fair to sat that since Jason Gillespie arrived everything has improved at Yorkshire, especially the fielding.

Those catches needed two people. Maxwell did it all himself

The size of this guy makes me love this catch and I remember it well:

And this is great, I don't remember it but it came up on YouTube;

They're going to really have to go some to win it from here.  A lot depending on these two now.

Think that might ends Hales hopes of a winter tour.

Bugger.  This match has gone now I fear, even though we bat deep.
