Shan Masood, the former Pakistan captain, faced a tough situation after picking up a finger fracture during his batting on the third day of the ongoing Test match.
Injury Details Emerge on Day Four
The injury occurred while Shan Masood was batting on day three. This meant he missed fielding duties when the fourth morning began.
Cricket fans following the match closely noted that Shan Masood did not appear on the field at the start of day four.

The finger fracture forced adjustments in the batting lineup right from the early stages of the innings.
Shan Masood suffered the injury during his knock on day three and did not take the field on the fourth morning.
Team management had to plan without their former captain in the field on that morning session.
