A naked man invaded the field during the first cricket Test match between Pakistan and New Zealand on Saturday being played in Mount Maunganui.

As the security was slow to react, the nude pitch invader ran onto the field during the first day of the first cricket Test match between New Zealand and Pakistan at the Bay Oval.

Pakistan’s captain Mohammad Rizwan and New Zealand’s captain Kane Williamson looked on as the pitch invader ran onto the field and passed near them.

This is not the first incident of its kind.

During the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 one-day match between England and New Zealand a bizarre incident in the 34th over caught everyone's attention. A nude pitch invader took advantage of a break in play to run onto the field and interrupt proceedings.

With New Zealand struggling at 145 for six in the 34th over, a fan took to the field. The naked man, wearing just a green hat, managed to reach the middle of the pitch and get close up to New Zealand batsmen Tom Latham and Mitchell Santner before managing to avoid security. The man was eventually hauled away by seven men and then broke free before being tackled to the ground.
