England Disabilities cricketer Liam Thomas produced a terrific bit of fielding despite losing his artificial leg in the process in a match against Pakistan.
Thomas saved a certain boundary, diving for the ball fielding at fine leg, but while doing so, his prostetic leg came loose, leaving him to have to hop to the ball in order to return it.
Speaking after the incident, Thomas said it was his 'natural instinct' in sport that pushed him to continue playing.

England, batting first, managed a score of 137-5 in their allotted overs. Pakistan achieved that target in 19.2 overs, for the loss of seven wickets.
