Worcestershire in-form speedster, Tom Taylor turned hero for his side in the high-voltage T20 Blast derby against Warwickshire at Edgbaston in Birmingham.

On a rain-curtailed game on Friday, Worcestershire put up a challenging score of 187/6 in 17 overs and set the stage for a thrilling contest.

T20 Blast 2024: Tom Taylor channelled his inner footballer with a run out for the ages

From the outset, Taylor was in scintillating form. He launched his spell with a ripper, castling Warwickshire's captain, Alex Davies, with a mesmerizing inswinger on the very first delivery. However, it was his final over where the 29-year-old quick truly shone.

Amidst his sensational spell, Taylor’s most breathtaking moment came not from his arm but his foot. After claiming two crucial wickets in his final and the innings’ 15th over, he turned a defensive play into an offensive specacle.

When George Garton miscued a drive, the ball trickled towards the off-side. In a flash, Tom Taylor sprinted forward, and with the agility and precision of a seasoned striker, he kicked the ball back toward the stumps.

The ball struck with pinpoint accuracy, catching Dan Mousley, Warwickshire’s leading scorer, woefully short of his ground. This spectacular Tom Taylor run-out, which mirrored a striker’s shot into the far post, was not just a display of agility but proof of the fast bowler’s athletic brilliance.

Taylor wrapped up his quota with commendable figures of 3/25 from his four overs, but the highlight was undoubtedly his football-style run-out, which became the talk of the day.
