NED vs ENG | England’s six shot, balls missing; Netherlands stars tapping in the jungle – Video

The Netherlands players stumbled outside the stadium to find the ball in England’s world record-breaking match with shot put. The incident took place during the first match of a three-match ODI series between the Netherlands and England (NED vs ENG). The videos and pictures of the incident went viral in an instant as the players of the fielding team tapped the ball into the jungle like in a rural cricket match.

The only disappointment for England was losing the toss in the match. That frustration was overcome by their batting. Batting first, England lost opener Jason Roy, but were later joined at the crease by Phillips Salt and David Malan, who led England to a huge score.

Malan’s Sixes fell into a bush near the stadium as the English players broke through the crease. The Netherlands players also picked up the ball as ground staff searched for it in the woods. After a brief search, the ball was found. The Netherlands players returned to the field with the ball, shouting when they got the ball missing.
