ENGLAND star Jack Leach was forced off against New Zealand due to concussion.
The spin bowler, 30, landed awkwardly on his head when trying to stop the ball reaching the boundary in the morning session on the opening day of the Lord’s test.
England have the opportunity to bring on a concussion replacement but an announcement has not been made yet.
The incident occurred in just the sixth over with England getting off to a fantastic start, taking five wickets for just 22 runs at one point.
Jimmy Anderson led the way with two wickets – dismissing New Zealand’s opening pair Tom Latham and Will Young for a combined two runs.
Debutant Matty Potts then got in on the action with his first wicket – bowling Kane Williamson.
