WELLINGTON: New Zealand batsman Mitchell McClenaghan was struck by an Anwar Ali bouncer at the fag end of the New Zealand innings in the first One-Day International (ODI) against Pakistan at the Basin Reserve.
McClenaghan went for the pull shot but completely missed out and the ball went in the gap between the grille and the peak of the helmet.
Fortunately, the grille soaked up majority of the pace and the impact was dampened but it was still enough to knock McClenaghan out for a while and he was left hold his left eye in pain. There was an immediate look of discomfort and redness round his eye.
