This is the hilarious moment a Sky News presenter was caught on camera practising his cricket during a live broadcast.

In footage which has emerged online, Emmy award winning journalist Colin Brazier, unaware his actions were being broadcast to the nation, is seen playing what appears to be a cricket shot.

Simon Ricketts tweeted the video, complimenting Mr Brazier on his “nice cover drive”.

Even revered cricket commentator Jonathan Agnew had some kind words about the 48-year-old, saying he “shows promise".

However not everyone was so complimentary about the presenter, with one person adding "doesn't get his foot out anywhere near close enough to the pitch of the ball, bit wafty too".
