The ICC compared the catch with Ben Stokes amazing flying catch at deep in the first match against South Africa. The photographer named Ian Kington managed to take one-handed catch despite holding a long lens camera in his other hand. South Africa’s Faf du Plessis hit the ball for a six when the cameraman took the catch.
