However, there were no injuries as some ruble fell down.
During Day 3 of the ongoing second Test between England and West Indies at Trent Bridge, West Indies pacer Shamar Joseph slammed a cracking shot that travelled for a maximum.
Not only that, the ball hit the roof of the stadium and broke a part of it, which fell down on the spectators in the stands. However, there were no injuries as some rubble fell following the left-hander’s six behind square.
The incident occurred on the 107th over of the day when England pacer Gus Atkinson bowled a short-length delivery, which Joseph swiftly connected, sending the ball soaring into the stands. The 24-year-old took on the attack to the English pacer after starting the over with the humongous six and collected another boundary off the penultimate delivery of the over.
