Surrey cricketers Rory Burns and Moises Henriques, have been involved in a sickening collision while fielding in the NatWest Blast tie between Sussex and Surrey at Arundel Castle.
Medics are in attendance.
Play has now officially been suspended. The rest of the players have been taken from the pitch whilst the players affected are treated.
The players collided while running for a catch offered by Steffan Piolet off Tom Curran in the 19th over of Sussex's innings. by David Hopps 5:08 PM↑0

Not nice at all at Arundel. Third ambulance now on the pitch. Burns being treated but motionless. Henriques is being kept still it appears.

Not sure what to say...

wtfff nooo

Are there any tweets that describe the collision (ie if one was sliding in and made contact with the other's head?) From the sounds of it, it appears to be a facial injury for Henriques and a neck injury for Burns, which I find a bit hard to picture. Hopefully it's only a precautionarily neck brace or something

omg.

Wilson, Mahmood and other Surrey players now on field. Burns putting two thumbs in the air as stretchered onto third ambulance.

Good news, then

Latest is Rory Burns and Moises Henriques have left the ground in ambulances but both players are concious and sitting up

Any news on the nature of the injuries? Really hope concussions aren't involved.

Head injuries. Guaranteed that they're concussed. Henriques has a suspected broken jaw (ouch)

Horrible news. Those blind collisions can be horrendous.

From the sounds of it concussions are almost certain.

Reading the first posts of this thread gave me a kick in the gut. So glad they seem to be alright. Hope they get through the night without complications. Fingers crossed
