Joe Root and captain ben stokes were batting. As the game was entering its final stages, the beetles suddenly took over. They swarmed all over the field. As a result, the players were unable to concentrate on the match.
Bumrah, who was fielding at the time, could not see the pitch properly and tried to pat the beetles that came in front of his eyes with his hand. On the other hand, ben stokes, who was batting, immediately stopped batting and went to the umpire and complained that he could not see the pitch properly and that there were a lot of insects. However, the umpires did not come forward to temporarily stop the match. Following this, all the players stopped the play until the beetles left and waited for them to go away. Due to this, the match was stopped for about five to ten minutes.
