Live images of the FIFA U19 World Cup match between Ireland and Zimbabwe shook vigorously for a few seconds as an earthquake off the coast of Port of Spain caused slight tremors across the Queens Park Oval here.

While the players were unaware and continued to work on the field, the commentators felt a shiver as the comment box started shaking.

The earthquake measured 5.2 on the Richter scale.

Commentator Andrew Leonard described the tremors as the comment box started to wiggle.

“We…I think we’re having an earthquake right now. In the box. We’re already having an earthquake. I felt like it wasn’t just a train passing behind us, but the entire media center in Queens Park Oval shook.”

The tremors were said to last from 15 to 20 seconds.

Irish spinner Matthew Humphreys was tossing the fifth from the sixth ball to Zimbabwean Brian Bennett when the front camera showing the action started shaking.

The play didn’t stop as Bennett played a halfway defensive shot, then hit the next ball to the frontier.

A 5.2-magnitude earthquake struck near Trinidad and Tobago on Saturday morning. According to the UWI Seismological Research Center, the quake occurred around 9:40 a.m. at a depth of 10 kilometers ”, according to a report on the Loop News website. The two teams were vying for 9-12 positions in the World Cup in the Brilliant League, having finished third in their group. Spanning half a century by Jack Dixon (78) and captain Tim Tctor (76 not out) after Baser Muzammil Shirzad’s Premier League win 5/20, Ireland won five wickets chasing the 167th goal.

An Irish cricket statement on the match said, “However, Sherzad was not the only thing that hit the Queen’s Park Oval today, as a 5.1 magnitude earthquake shook the ground midway through the Zimbabwe innings.” The commentary team continued, featuring Irish cricketer Andrew Leonard, commenting bravely with humor as an assessment has been made of any possible damage to the historic land that has stood on the site since 1896.”
