Haris Rauf to Harry Brook, no run, tries to whip this short of a length delivery through the leg-side, but gets beaten. In fact, gets a top edge that gets struck in the helmet grille. The physio is out in the middle to have a mandatory check on the batsman

Yeah, that's what gave Broad the heeby-jeebies about short pitched stuff.

Thankfully it didnt go through the grill!

I think this has happened a couple of times at least, think one was Boult in a test match.

Thanks, well at least that one was from a spin delivery so not quite the same scenario and not as dangerous.

Thank goodness for helmets.

Scary to think that so many of us played cricket at school or club level without any protection for our head.

Didn't Pathan did someone that too?
