The start to the third day of the first cricket test between England and New Zealand has been sullied by the theft of camera equipment from the commentary box of visiting broadcasters Talksport.
The crime is understood to have occurred overnight at the Hagley Oval ground in Christchurch and was discovered upon arrival this morning.
Talksport cricket editor Jon Norman released a video talking about the incident on social media with former test bowler and fellow commentator Steve Harmison.
Not the news we wanted to bring you ahead of Day 3 at Hagley Oval
“We’ve had a break-in. We’ve lost our cameras and we won’t be able to broadcast via the Talksport cricket YouTube channel today. There will be audio but no pictures.
“We’ve had nothing but hospitality the customary New Zealand way all week, but sadly this is bad news to wake up to.”
Harmison said: “We’ve come here this morning, walked across the field, bounced over thinking it’d be another brilliant day of test cricket, filling the audience hopefully with excitement and joy, but unfortunately there’s nothing we can do about it.
“It’s out of our control that we can’t bring you pictures from this great venue.”
