However, things did not seem to be good with the England pacer as he faced frequent issues on his finger. However, bowling the seventh over of the inning, Topley did not look comfortable as he left the field with Joe Root completing the over.
After the fourth delivery of the seventh over, the physio came out in the middle to check on Topley, who seemed to be in trouble in his left hand. However, he couldn’t complete the over as he bowled another delivery with Joe Root throwing the last ball of the over, meanwhile Topley walked off the field.
