This was from a North Group match in the domestic Twenty20 competition, NatwestT20Blast. This was from a game between Lancashire and Yorkshire. On June 6, 2014 when Tom Smith came down to hit one over the ropes, the ball looked destined to travel all the way for a maximum before Lyth running in from long on leapt up to hall the ball back in, Aaron Finch who had come some distance from long off was quick to react and pouch the catch to complete the stunner. Lyth will hope to launch a similar stunning comeback in his career as an opener for England. Read: Adam Lyth: My England career is far from over
