Bees briefly halt cricket Test

KANDY, Sri Lanka - A swarm of bees briefly halted play in the cricket Test between Sri Lanka and England on Tuesday when they flew across Asgiriya Stadium, forcing the players to all lie motionless on the ground.

The bees were first spotted by Pakistani umpire Asad Rauf, who laid down on the field during the fourth day of the first Test between the countries. The players soon followed, with both teams remaining on the ground for several minutes until the bees moved on.
