Team Rugby struck early against Team Cricket in their Black Clash Twenty20 match at Hagley Oval in Christchurch today.

All Blacks great Richie McCaw made a sensational diving catch to dismiss former Black Caps skipper Stephen Fleming for just five-runs.

After a great short delivery by All Blacks utility Jordie Barrett, Fleming hit the ball skyward with McCaw making the catch at point.

Israel Dagg looked to have dismissed Fleming via LBW in his second to last ball of the first over, but officials failed to make the call.

Replays showed his yorker was plum and on the money.
