Josh Hazlewood ruled out with hamstring strain

Australia suffered a bowling setback of their own in Perth after fast bowler Josh Hazlewood was ruled out of the ongoing Test with a hamstring strain.

The pacer pulled up feeling his left hamstring midway through his second over and was forced off the field. An MRI confirmed a left hamstring strain as a result of which, he will not bowl for the remainder of this Test, although, he may bat if required. His recovery will be monitored in the coming weeks and a decision on his futher participation will be made at a later stage.

Both teams have been reduced to 10 players each with New Zealand's Lockie Ferguson
