Cricketers stuck in 10-hour Dover queue play impromptu match to pass time

Cricketers stuck in a 10-hour queue for the Dover ferry played an impromptu match to while away the wait.

Students from Southampton University Cricket Club started playing at Folkestone services in Kent after their planned trip to Italy was put on hold.

The group set off from their university campus at 6am to board a ferry at 11:15am, but were delayed until 9pm.

The players are staying in Italy for four nights as part of a trip bringing university sports societies from across the UK together.
