Irish bowler Humphreys was bowling the 6th over of the innings. As soon as he was about to bowl the 5th delivery of the over, an earthquake shook the whole ground. The tremors from this earthquake lasted for about 20 seconds. However, interestingly the players didn't care much about the earthquake and carried on playing.
