England fast bowler<\/a> Craig Overton has been booed after an attempted Mankad during a county match in Birmingham.<\/p>\n

Playing for Somerset against Warwickshire at Edgbaston, Overton appeared distracted all day, finishing with 0-57 as Warwickshire made 4-283.<\/p>\n

Early in the day the fast bowler lost his temper after attempting to collect the ball in his follow through and throw at the striker's end stumps.<\/p>\n

"The episode resulted in a little booing from the crowd but Overton is the sort of competitor any team would want on their side."<\/p>\n

Overton, who made his Test debut in Adelaide during the 2017-18 Ashes series, has taken 17 wickets in six Tests, along with four wickets in as many ODIs.<\/p>\n
