1st Test: Australia v Pakistan at Dubai

142.2
Johnson to Babar, no run, thuds into his right (non-bowling) hand and he is wringing it in pain.
Drops his bat straight away after being hammered by a 143 kph, short ball on middle.
Was barely in position to play the ball there and his middle finger is bleeding.

Physio comes out immediately to put some tape on the bruised finger

Surprise after tea, well not quite a big one considering how uncomfortable Zulfiqar was.

He's gone off to get some stitches on his right hand

retired hurt  :-[

Sarfraz Ahmed's 80-ball century was the second quickest Test century by a wicketkeeper, though still far slower than Adam Gilchrist's 57-ball hundred against England. Gilchrist has seven of the 12 100-plus scores at a 100-plus strike rate by a wicketkeeper in Tests.
