WTC Final: Cameraman shows pigeon pooping on the field on Day 5, Twitter goes mad

India and New Zealand are crossing swords in what is said to be the most high-octane Test match ever, the ICC World Test Championship final. The high-voltage clash is underway at the Ageas Bowl in Southampton, and fans have witnessed some fascinating contest between the bat and the ball. While pacers Mohammed Shami, Tim Southee, and Kyle Jamieson have made the red cherry talk, Kane Williamson, Devon Conway, and Ajinkya Rahane showcased remarkable resilience with the bat.

If one has to sum up, Test cricket has been played of the highest quality. With so much action happening on the field, the cameramen have a lot of interesting content to show. In spite of that, however, a cameraperson during the WTC final captured a pigeon pooping on the field. It’s pretty obvious that the individual behind the cam didn’t intend to show such a visual.

However, the strange clip got viral in no time, and the cameraman’s antics left the fans in splits. A pigeon pooping on the field is indeed one of the strangest things that one has seen on the cricket field. Subsequently, fans went mad and flooded social media with hilarious comments. Have a look!

Here’s how Twitter reacted

The best part about today's game has been the Royal Pigeon who's been chilling his way around the silly point region on a warm British afternoon as the action rolls on #WTC21 #WTCFinal #WTCFinal2021 #indiaVsNewZealand #India #INDvNZ #CricketLive

Here’s how the WTC Final unfolded so far!

Speaking of how the game has unfolded so far, Kiwi skipper Kane Williamson won the toss and unsurprisingly opted to bowl on a green Southampton track. New Zealand bowlers justified their captain’s decision and bundled India out for mere 217 runs. Right-arm pacer Kyle Jamieson was the wreaker-in-chief for the Kiwis as he registered a five-wicket haul.

In reply, New Zealand got off to a brilliant start, with opener Devon Conway registering the first half-century of the game. However, Indian bowlers bounced back and ran through Kiwis’ middle-order. While Mohammed Shami scalped four wickets, Ishant Sharma dismissed three batters as New Zealand were folded for 249, gaining a substantial 32-run lead in the first innings.

In reply, India made a steady start and were 64/2 at the stumps on Day 5, leading by 32 runs. Notably, a significant part of the game has been washed out due to rain. However, the International Cricket Council (ICC) has allocated a reserve day, which will effectively be Day 6, for the contest. A significant part of the play is still left, and it would be interesting to see how it pans out.
