However, the one moment that stood out among all during the clash between England and Netherlands was a cheeky and hilarious antic played by Chris Woakes during the first innings as he showed his faulty helmet to the umpire to avoid Angelo Matthews like ‘Time🐭d Out’ wearing a big smile on his phase.

The Angelo Mathews ‘time out’ incident

It is worth mentioning that Sri Lanka’s Mathews recently became the first batter to be given ‘T🦂imed Out’ in international cricket during a match against Bangladesh after he was struggling with a defective helmet and opposition skipper Shakib Al Hasan ꦐwent ahead with the appeal and had Mathews timed out.

Mathews’s dismissal created a huge controversy. The Sri Lanka veteran even vented his frustration at the Bangladesh cricket team and Shakib after the match and the two teams also did not shake hands w🔥ith ea✤ch other.
