Overview

• Midway through the opening Hundred match at Lord’s, a fox darted onto the outfield and forced umpires to pause play.
• Commentators Eoin Morgan and Stuart Broad entertained the crowd as they deliberated how to guide the animal off the field without harm.
• The fox eventually vaulted over a boundary board to safety, allowing Oval Invincibles to resume their chase.
• Oval Invincibles overhauled the modest 81‐run target in 69 balls to secure a six‐wicket win over London Spirit.
• The unexpected interruption echoed similar wildlife moments in cricket, including a black cat halting a Champions Trophy match in Karachi earlier this year.
