Richard Gleeson, bowling for MI London against SunRisers Leeds in The Hundred, came within one wicket of a hat-trick after dismissing Zak Crawley and Benny Howell in successive balls. However, number 11 batter Abrar Ahmed denied him the milestone by striking a six, a moment of defiance from the tail-ender that drew praise for how a hat-trick ball should be met.

The dismissal of Crawley and Howell in quick succession had put Gleeson on the brink of a rare feat in the competition, but Abrar's clean hitting turned the contest's momentum in an instant. The clip, shared by BBC Sport, captured the drama of the passage of play during the live MI London v SunRisers Leeds fixture.
