The 40 over match between Nottinghamshire and Lancashire at Trent Bridge on the 22nd July 2006 was abandoned when a mesocyclone struck the ground producing daytime darkness.

Here's Sky Sports footage and a BBC forecast showing a radar image of the storm. This was mid-afternoon but look how dark it is behind the commentary team whilst having a discussion. It looks as dark as night!

Great footage there! I remember that day - don't think mesocyclones were around on that day as deep layer shear was not that strong. However, MCS development occurred and there were some pretty high wind gusts in places.
