Video: Cricket fan wins £2,500 for catch

A cricket fan has won almost £2,500 after catching a ball during a match between two club sides in New Zealand.

Andrew McCulloch sprinted towards the ball to take the catch, sliding to gather the ball just inches from the ground in the game between Otaga Volts and Wellington Firebirds.

As part of a promotion, McCulloch's catch, which came from a six struck by his partner's brother Michael Bracewell, earned him NZ$5,000 (£2,446).
