During Durham's County Championship match against Lancashire at Chester-le-Street, the home team's assistant coach was spotted at the square leg umpire's position. Alan Walker was substituting for regular official Michael Gough, who had gone off the field for a bathroom break.

Batter Leus du Plooy's eyes must have lit up when he saw the full toss coming towards him during Middlesex's first innings in the county game against Yorkshire at Headingley. He drove it, only for it to get stuck in Dom Bess' left hand at short cover.

Priyansh Arya channelled his inner Yuvraj Singh, becoming the latest entrant in the six-sixes-in-an-over club. Playing for South Delhi Superstarz in the Delhi Premier League [DPL], he smashed North Delhi Strikers spinner Manan Bharadwaj six times over the boundary in the 12th over of the first innings. Bharadwaj, primarily a left-arm spinner, also sent down a delivery right-handed to stop the carnage, but to no avail. All of Arya's sixes were in the V, straight over the bowler's head.

Hold my beer? No thanks, said a spectator at the England-Sri Lanka Old Trafford Test, casually taking a very cool catch while clutching his beverage in one hand.

The art of boundary fielding? Pssssh. You're only a true artist when you can turn a dropped catch into performance art.
