Bat goes flying!

The incident happened in the 8th over of the innings. Samson was facing Varun Chakravarthy when he tried to smash the mystery spinner out of the ground. However, the opener lost his shape and his bat went flying out of his hands.

Samson's bat ended up in the square leg region, needing the umpire and then Brevis to pass it back to him.
