England Fan's 'INCREDIBLE' One Handed Blinder At Old Trafford Test vs SL Cracks Up Paul Collingwood

England find themselves in a pretty dominant position against Sri Lanka at Day 3 of the first test match at Old Trafford, Manchester in the three match test series in between the two sides. Missing their captain Ben Stokes due to injury, the English red ball side led by stand in skipper Ollie Pope bundled Sri Lanka for a score of 238 runs in the first innings and then took a 122 run lead by notching up 358 in their innings. Despite England's dominant position, it wasn't their dominating performance that got Paul Collingwood's attention but instead it was a fan in the stands.Paul Collingwood in awe of England fanTowards the end of England's innings on day 3, in an insane moment an English fan managed to catch a six by one hand and also save his beer via the other hand. The incident occurred when Mark Wood smashed a six and as the ball sailed over the ropes and into the stands, a fan pulled off an blinder to take the catch with his right hand and at the same time prevent his beer cup from spilling from his left hand.
