England v New Zealand: Henry Nicholls dismissed in one of the most bizarre cirumstances ever

Is this the strangest wicket EVER in cricket history? New Zealand batter Henry Nicholls is bizarrely dismissed after his drive off England spinner Jack Leach ricochets off non-striker Daryl Mitchell’s bat before looping into fielder Alex Lees’ hands

• Henry Nicholls hit a drive off Jack Leach in the final over before the tea break
• New Zealand batter’s shot hit the bat of team-mate Daryl Mitchell at other end
• Ball then looped up and fell straight into the hands of England fielder Alex Lees 
• Laws of cricket state that Nicholls’ dismissal was a legitimate way of getting out
