"Go my friend," instructed one fan to his good mate, who just gulped down a glass of intoxicant even as New Zealand and Indian cricketers engaged in an intriguing Day 2 of the first Test match at Basin Reserve, Wellington on Saturday.
Then, as captured in this footage, the compliant friend crossed the fence and invaded the pitch, only to encounter security guards.
New Zealand were in complete command of the first Test against India with a comprehensive first-innings lead of 183 at lunch on the third day (Sunday) with debutant Kyle Jamieson and No 11 Trent Boult belting the bowlers for fun.
New Zealand scored 348 in their first innings as Ishant Sharma (5/68 in 22.2 overs) remained the stand-out bowler for India.
