Watch: Streaker runs on the pitch during NZ vs PAK Test, Twitter reacts to Security's actions

A streaker interrupted during the New Zealand vs Pakistan 1st Test | Twitter

The first day of the 1st Test between New Zealand and Pakistan at the Bay Oval had plenty of moments for viewers to enjoy and savour. However, one that took all the attention away was by a streaker who ran on the pitch during the live game.

The person came running to the pitch naked with his hands on his private parts when New Zealand skipper Kane Williamson was about to take guard to face the next ball. Everyone had to stop midway and wait for the security to take him away.

But, the way the security personnel handled the matter, it became a reason for everyone's outrage.

One of the security persons, grabbed the person after chasing him for a few seconds and pushed him down to the ground.

The manhandling by the security left Twitter users asking the security person to be escorted than the strekaer himself. While many users thought that the five-ten minutes wasted by the streaker's intervention was the reason that Williamson couldn't complete his another Test century as he remained unbeaten on 94 when the Stumps happened. Some of the users had fun seeing the tackle by the security as they were not able to catch him in the first attempt.

Here are some of the reactions:

Early defence was poor from security, showed no fitness or form and the streaker was able to penetrate with relative ease.

Poor form from a streaker to go when the home side is batting. Know the game man. #NZvsPAK
