    "editor1": "<p><strong>London, May 31 (CRICKETNMORE): <\/strong>&nbsp;It was a stunning one-handed catch from Ben Stokes that stole the limelight on the opening day as England&#39;s campaign got underway emphatically in the 2019 World Cup.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>On Tuesday, Stokes was back to his dominant best in the 104-run win against South Africa, as he top-scored with 89 as England posted 311\/8 in their full quota of 50 overs. And then on the field, he helped with a run-out and two wickets as the tournament favourites bundled the Proteas for 207 in 39.5 overs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>However, it was his soaring effort to remove Andile Phehlukwayo in the deep that left a sold-out Oval crowd stunned.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;To be honest I was in the wrong position,&quot; The Guardian quoted the all-rounder as saying of the catch. &quot;If I was in the right position it would have been regulation. That feeling for about five seconds when I was facing the crowd and everyone was cheering, it was phenomenal.&quot;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Skipper Eoin Morgan was also full of praise for Stokes, saying the 27-year-old is currently at the top of his game.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;He&#39;s had a full day out. We see him do stuff like that in training and you just shake your head. Today his all-round game was on and that&#39;s great for us at the start of the tournament. He&#39;s at the top of his game,&quot; said Morgan.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;It is a relief to be off and running, great to get a win and even better to produce a performance like that,&quot; he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>England will next play Pakistan on Monday at Trent Bridge.<br \/>\r\n&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-lang=\"en\">\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Have you EVER seen a better catch?<br \/>\r\nBen Stokes with a grab that has to be seen to be believed!<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/WeAreEngland?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#WeAreEngland<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/CWC19?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#CWC19<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/rpN04OxVTk\">pic.twitter.com\/rpN04OxVTk<\/a><\/p>\r\n&mdash; ICC (@ICC) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ICC\/status\/1134221041679720449?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">May 30, 2019<\/a><\/blockquote>\r\n<script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>",
