Bee attack at Riverside Ground, Chester-le-Street
The ICC World Cup 2019 game between Sri Lanka and South Africa saw astonishing scenes and players of both sides and match officials lay flat on their stomach in the middle of the match.
The incident took place during the 48th over of Sri Lanka’s innings when Chris Morris was bowling. Soon after Morris delivered the fifth ball of the over, a swarm of bees came across the ground stopping the game for some time.
The cricketers, along with the match officials, lied down on the ground soon after, and play resumed only it left the field.
