If a ball went in the air towards a fielder, they often cut to the bowler for reaction, rather than showing the catch! Perhaps he/she wasn't helped by some average camera operators, because I saw at least two whizz-pans in the 25-minute highlights package.

I can only hope it improves over the rest of the tournament.
It's ESPN/Star Sports. Up here we get reminder it's them every five effing minutes.

Probably Sky getting a disclaimer in.
