This happened in Surrey v Northamptonshire County Championship Division 1
In the ongoing County Championships Division One match between Surrey and Northamptonshire being played at the The Oval, Jamie Overton bowled a lethal toe-crusher that had batter Saif Zaib limping as he went back to the pavilion while the bowler continued on with his celebrations. Overton bowled a superb yorker that brought Saif out of his comfort zone as he immediately fell down on his knees and was even seen limping as he made his way back. The full delivery swung quite a bit in the air but the batter played through the line to miss the yorker completely.
The official social media handles of Surrey Cricket shared the clip of the bowl with a caption that read, "Here's that delivery from Jamie Overton. Unplayable!."
