The moment came in the 5th over of the innings. Suryakumar Yadav brought Jasprit Bumrah into the attack to try and put the brakes on England's chase. Bumrah bowled a slower ball to deceive Brook, who skied it high in the air.
Axar made the distance, running about 24 metres before putting in a full length dive to complete the catch. Brook is amongst England's in-form players, having struck a century earlier in the tournament.
Axar's catch was a vital moment in the game handing India the advantage. Gambhir was mighty pleased and pumped, reacting to his catch from the dugout.
