Green could not react in time to a Bumrah straight drive that burst through Green’s hands and hit him on the right side of his head. Non-striker Mohammad Siraj dropped his bat immediately and went on to check on him.
After being examined, Green walked off the field for further assessment. Green was bowling his seventh over and had already claimed the wicket of India’s Shubman Gill as the tourists collapsed to 123/9.
Fox Sports reporter Tom Morris tweeted: “It’s amazing more bowlers don’t get hit in the head like Cam Green just did. Completely exposed, bigger bats … accident waiting to happen.â€
