Jacques Rudolph had a moment to forget in the T20 Blast as he dropped the easiest of catches

Glamorgan captain Jacques Rudolph was left red-faced after dropping an absolute sitter during his side's NatWest T20 Blast quarter-final defeat to Yorkshire Vikings in Cardiff.

The South African inexplicably spilled a chance to catch Adam Lyth from the fifth ball of the match after Yorkshire's left-handed opener skewed in his direction.

Rudolph looked glum as he retrieved the ball but bowler Timm van der Gugten's reaction was priceless - the Dutch seamer halfway through his celebration before realising his skipper had suffered a case of butterfingers.

Rudolph atoned for his error by successfully catching Lyth off the bowling of Shaun Tait for eight - but the Welsh county were damaged by David Willey, who clubbed seven fours and six sixes in a 38-ball 79.
