The ball travelled through a flock of pigeons sitting on the grass and, unfortunately, struck one of them. Potts went to check up on the bird, and it flew away as soon as he tried to pick it up. The commentators were amused by the incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Watch the below video:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Pigeon stops play \u26d4\ufe0f<br><br>Luckily Matthew Potts has everything under control \ud83d\udc4c <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/juyl06Kp2n\">pic.twitter.com\/juyl06Kp2n<\/a><\/p>&mdash; England Cricket (@englandcricket) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/englandcricket\/status\/1929936258173641135?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">June 3, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote> \n\n\n\n<p>The start of the ODI was itself eventful, as the toss had to be delayed due to the West Indian team getting stuck in traffic.
