England pace bowler Stuart Broad was furious with the on-field camera on the second day of the fifth Ashes Test in Hobart.
The incident happened when Broad was about to bowl his final ball of the 63rd over to Mitchell Starc.
The 35-year-old pacer halted his run-up just before he was about to release the ball after being distracted from the robot camera. The camera was moving behind wicketkeeper Sam Billings.

Broad is leading England’s bowling attack as veteran pacer James Anderson has been rested for the final game in Hobart. Broad took the wickets of Usman Khawaja and Marnus Labuschagne on Day 1.
Broad bowled a brilliant outswinger to induce an outside edge that went to England skipper Joe Root in the first slip region.
Stuart Broad dismisses Marnus Labuschagne on Day 1
Labuschagne was on a mission to resurrect the Australian innings along with Travis Head after the top-order collapsed in the first session. Labuschagne carried his brilliant run by getting his strokes right on the action. The Queensland batter hammered nine boundaries in his 71-run stay with Head for the fourth wicket.
On the first ball of the 23rd over, Labuschagne shuffled across the off-stump only to allow Broad to clean the stumps round his legs.
Labuschagne was trying to play from the same line for most of his innings, unfortunately, he slipped and fell as Broad bowled full and straight to get the important breakthrough for his side.
Head, who missed the Sydney Test after contracting the COVID-19, virus slammed an incredible hundred on his return to Hobart.
However, Head was dismissed on 101 by Chris Woakes in the 49th over after the batter chipped one to mid-on where Ollie Robinson took a comfortable catch.
At the end of 74 overs, Australia’s score read 294/9 with Nathan Lyon (22*) was batting along with Scott Boland (10*).
