This is the moment two cows brought a cricket game to a halt – by invading the pitch mid-match.
Footage shows the hoofed mammals charging across the pitch mid-afternoon having escaped from a nearby field.
They can be seen galloping around Dunton Bassett Cricket Club during the hottest day of the year to the amusement of the crowd.
After doing a lap of the grounds, the pair fittingly exited via cow corner – a fielding position between deep mid-wicket and wide long-on.
Onlooker Lucy Beri, 55, said: “They managed to jump over a fence and cause a traffic jam before they arrived on the grounds.
“My husband has played cricket for 50 years and has never come across anything like it.
“It’s definitely a first.
“They actually fled via cow corner which was quite fitting!”.
The video was filmed May 30 2021 in Lutterworth, Leicestershire.
