Cricket is a game that has often been disrupted by various factors such as rain delays, pitch invaders, sight screen issues, injuries and equipment changes.
However, there was a new twist to the tale during the second Test between England and West Indies at Trent Bridge Nottingham.
In the course of the match, an unexpected ‘unicorn balloon’ came into play resulting in a brief stoppage.
England Cricket’s social media released a footage of the balloon entering the premises and being swiftly taken away by one of the ground stewards.
“Only at cricket,” read the caption which left fans cracking.
