Streaker's Day Out: Naked pitch invader interrupts England vs New Zealand match in World Cup 2019
The naked man, wearing just a green hat, managed to reach the middle of the pitch and get close up to New Zealand batsmen.
The ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 match between England and New Zealand was pretty one-sided. Chasing 306, New Zealand lost early wickets and were never in the game during the second innings.
It also meant that the later part of the innings was not much exciting. However, a bizarre incident in the 34th over caught everyone's attention. A nude pitch invader took advantage of a break in play to run onto the field and interrupt proceedings.
With New Zealand struggling at 145 for six in the 34th over, a fan took to the field. The naked man, wearing just a green hat, managed to reach the middle of the pitch and get close up to New Zealand batsmen Tom Latham and Mitchell Santner before managing to avoid security. The man was eventually hauled away by seven men and then broke free before being tackled to the ground.
