New Delhi: Comparatively smaller in stature, England batsman James Taylor has always been a treat to watch while also fielding. On Friday, the 26-year-old produced once-in-a-lifetime catch to dismiss South African opener Dean Elgar off Moeen Ali in the 11th over at SuperSport Park.

Taylor's catch was probably England's best moment on the first day of fourth and final Test with debutant Proteas opener Stephen Cook and majestic Hashim Amla toying with the visiting bowlers.
