Usually, you must have seen fans entering the field during any cricket match. They break the security cordon and enter the middle of the field to meet their favourite players. They see them, touch their feet, hug them and go back to the gallery. This kind of sight is very common in IPL, but a strange sight was seen during England's T20 Blast League. During the match between Surrey and Hampshire, a fox, considered a dangerous animal, entered the field.

How did you get the fox out?

Hampshire batted first in this match. This incident happened in the sixth over of their innings. Chris Jordan was bowling, he was about to bowl to Toby Albert when the fox entered the field. On seeing him, the cameraman's attention also went there. The players got scared after seeing him. The game stopped and everyone stopped wherever they were and waited for him to go. No one had the courage to chase him away. The fox ran on the field in the live match and went out on its own. During this time, it did not harm anyone.
