From flying ants to burnt toast, here are some of the quirkiest moments in cricket history when the game was put on pause for reasons no one could have predicted.

A swarm of flying ants caused a half-hour delay during the third T20 international cricket match between India and South Africa at SuperSport Park on Wednesday.Players were forced to leave the field as the insects swarmed the playing area.

The third T20I between India and South Africa was temporarily halted due to thousands of flying ants descending on the stadium. Players were asked to stop by the umpires after the first over of the second innings, with the ants making it impossible to carry on.
