India batsman MS Dhoni was in full-on destructive mode as he smashed a camera alongside his many sixes on the way to a fantastic century

How do you stop MS Dhoni hitting sixes?

That was the question England were asking as he blasted six of them when scoring 134 in the second ODI in Cuttack, but they did at least prevent one, thanks to some help from spider-cam.

Dhoni unleashed a fearsome pull off Chris Woakes with the first ball off the 43rd over, but picked out the spider-cam perfectly, and with the camera broken the ball was ruled dead.

Much to Dhoni's frustration, as the six would have moved him to within one of a hundred, and to the annoyance too of Alex Hales in the deep, who thought he was in with a chance of a catch.

Dhoni didn't have to wait too long for his next maximum, launching Woakes' next ball back down the ground, and then reaching 10th ODI ton later in the over - rubbing salt into Hales' wounds with his shot to bring it up landing just short of the fielder's diving effort.
