'Frustrated' Craig Overton tries to run out non-striker in Somerset vs Warwickshire Country cricket match

Craig Overton was the cynosure of all eyes on Day 1 of the Division 1 Country cricket match that took place between Warwickshire and Somerset. During the entire day, the right arm pacer bowled 22 overs, leaked 57 runs, and did not pick up even a single wicket.

And, Overton let his frustration get to him. During the 85th over of the day, Overton tried to run out the non-striker Matthew Lamb in a controversial fashion. But then, the skipper of the Somerset side, Tom Abell did not proceed with the appeal.
