Talking about Chanderpaul's injury -  he was batting on 86 and West Indies were 276 for 8. Then a Lee delivery in the 95th over, to be exact off the last ball, on the third day, hit Chaderpaul on the back of the head by a quick bouncer. It floored the West Indian with worried players from both the camps rushing to his side.


Luckily for everyone, Chanderpaul continued, scoring 188, after going through scans.
