ENG vs SL | Twitter erupts as Lahiru Kumara’s nasty delivery leaves Ollie Pope bleeding from elbow
Injuries are fairly common in cricket fielding, though some impacts can be particularly severe, resulting in bleeding. A notable instance occurred during the third Test match between Sri Lanka and England, where a ferocious delivery from Lahiru Kumara hit Ollie Pope's elbow, causing it to bleed.
On the first delivery of the 21st over, Lahiru Kumara bowled from around the wicket, sending a length ball targeting the off stump. The ball took an extra bounce, and Pope attempted to defend it. The extra bounce struck his elbow and the impact caused the ball to lodge briefly against his pad. Pope soon realized that his elbow was bleeding from the force of the hit. He was visibly in pain, with blood oozing from his right elbow. The play was momentarily halted while Pope received medical attention for the injury. Despite the discomfort, he continued playing with the scrape, and Twitter users expressed their sympathy for his situation.
That hurts!
