NEW DELHI: Cricket is no stranger to interruptions — rain delays, pitch invaders, sight screen issues, injuries, and equipment changes have all been part of the game.
However, a new kind of disruption occurred during the second Test between England and the West Indies at Trent Bridge, Nottingham.
During the match, a ‘unicorn balloon‘ unexpectedly drifted onto the field, causing a brief halt in play.
England Cricket’s social media shared a video of the balloon’s entrance and the ensuing delay, with a ground steward quickly removing it.
The caption read, “Only at cricket,” sparking laughter among fans.

Shoaib Bashir delivered his best Test figures as England defeated the West Indies by 241 runs to secure a series win.
The 20-year-old off-spinner claimed 5-41—his third five-wicket haul in just five Tests, and his first in England.
The West Indies, set a target of 385, collapsed to 143 all out.
England now lead the three-match series 2-0, following their innings and 114-run victory at Lord’s.
The third Test at Edgbaston begins on Friday.
