LONDON (Dunya News) - A swarm of bees halted the county fixture between Sussex and Leicestershire on Sunday at Grace Road.

During the 96th over of the 3rd innings of the game, a swarm of bees attacked the playing area. The players were quick to react and decided to lay down to protect themselves.

The commentators also laughed out at the sight which made the crowd entertained as well. The play resumed after the bees left the playing area.

The bee attack wasn t the only thing that hogged the limelight. Pace bowling all-rounder Ollie Robinson also hogged the limelight for bowling off-spin. He only bowled 7 overs on the final day of the play. Out of 42 balls he bowled, 24 were off-spin.
