The final of the ICC World Test Championship is being played between India and New Zealand at the Aegis Bowl in Southampton. The reserve day game has just begun. New Zealand wicketkeeper BJ Watling is playing his last Test despite being injured in the last Test. His move is highly praised. During the first session of Wednesday’s reserve day, the ring finger of his right hand was moved.
Watling was injured when Ravindra Jadeja ran out. Jadeja tries to take a single off Neal Wagner’s delivery. Meanwhile, India captain Kane Williamson threw a throw to dismiss. At this time Watling was wounded. New Zealand Cricket later confirmed on social media that Watling’s finger had been moved. New Zealand Cricket tweeted, ‘In the first session, BJ Watling’s right ring finger was dislocated and he underwent treatment before returning to the field during the break.
