A video has been shared of a naked streaker being tackled by security during an England test cricket match at Headingley.
The joker stripped naked in the crowd before attempting to run on to the field during the fourth day of England's test match against New Zealand at Headingley Cricket Ground in Leeds on Sunday (June 26). Before jumping the barrier while a crucial call was being decided, the man managed to remove all his clothes without being noticed and then made a dash for it, but was tackled by a steward who spotted him emerging from the crowd.
In the video, which you can view at the top of this story, the streaker barely makes it over the boundary before he is taken down and detained by stewards. The man is then walked off the field and out of the stadium while the crowd jeers.

An amused onlooker said: "It's a really party atmosphere at the cricket and everyone was drunk and having a good time. We were sat on the famous Western Terrace when he ran out from in front of us stark naked.
"But sadly for him he didn't get very far before he was tackled. The steward who stopped him did so well, and Lord Patel came down personally to shake his hand and thank him."
The punishment for streaking at cricket matches can involve a hefty fine and a lifelong ban from all stadiums.
