A bizarre incident was spotted during the Worcestershire vs Essex County Championship 2025 match at the New Road, Worcester. Tom Taylor was batting for Worcestershire and he hit a boundary. As he was conversing with the non-striker, a swarm of bees entered the stadium and players started to lie flat on the chest or back to evade the bee-attack. Umpires followed suit along with the players and play had to be stopped for some time before it could be resumed again. 42-Year-Old James Anderson Scalps Maiden Wicket in County Championship 2025, Cleans Up Caleb Jewell During Lancashire vs Derbyshire Match (Watch Video).
