Nov 21, Kathmandu - An earthquake has been felt on the third day of the second Test cricket match between Bangladesh and Ireland in Dhaka.

The 5.5-magnitude earthquake had forced a three-minute halt to play on Saturday morning. Panic spread throughout the stadium as the strong tremors were felt at around 10:38 am.

Players and umpires huddled in the middle of the pitch for safety, while people rushed out of both teams' dressing rooms and media centers.
