ONE fan displayed a novel way of signalling a boundary during today’s Ashes action.

England have been battling Australia during this week’s fourth Test at Old Trafford.

The home side have been desperately trying to keep the series alive, having gone into this week trailing 2-1.

And with England enjoying a brilliant few days fans have been enjoying themselves at Old Trafford.

One in particular had some fun while signalling a boundary.

As live Sky Sports cameras focused on him, he appeared to make a lewd ‘spanking’ gesture with his hands.

Posting the short clip, one fan joked: “A new way of signalling a boundary for all the umpires out there…”

And a second quipped: “Test matches….the new “rave scene”!”

A third tweeted: “This made me laugh much more than it should but hoping this gets adopted by umpires at the local cricket club.”

Commenting on the fan’s jacket, a fourth said: “Moncler to the ashes… cricket is back to being the heart beat of our nation.”
