County Select XI bowler Lyndon James dismissed India's opener Mayank Agarwal to pick his second wicket in the warm-up match on Tuesday. James bowled an amazing in-swinging delivery to uproot Agarwal's wicket as the Indian batsman looked stunned while the ball passed through his defence. Agarwal scored 28 off 35 balls before being dismissed by the young England pacer. James had earlier picked India's stand-in captain Rohit Sharma's wicket for just 9 runs.
Durham Cricket shared the video of the amazing delivery on its official Twitter handle. In the video, Agarwal appears stunned by James' delivery as he remained in the defensive position while the ball passed through to demolish his wickets.
Brilliant from @TrentBridge's Lyndon James who picks up his second.
