It all happened in the 12th over of Somerset's innings. Daniel Douthwaite, known for his knack of bowling aggressive short deliveries, cranked up the pressure with a snappy bouncer that caught Sean Dickson off-guard.

Attempting a pull, Dickson only managed a top edge as the ball spiralled towards backward point. It was then that Mcllroy showcased his agility and sharp reflexes.

With the ball up in the air, Mcllroy dashed backward to his left in a display of sheer determination and exceptional athleticism. 

Leaping and stretching to his utmost, he executed a full-length dive and miraculously caught the ball with his left hand, plucking it out of thin air, a moment that turned heads and dropped jaws around the ground.
