The bottom hand got jarred with the bat handle thanks to the force on the ball. The physio has walked out. The stinging pain won't go away soon but he seems okay to continue.

Roach to Elgar, out Caught by Blackwood!! You don't see this often. You definitely don't see Elgar flashing at a wide one early to nick off to the cordon. Delight for West Indies. Elgar can be a real pain for bowlers with his doggedness but now Roach has bagged him for nought. Full ball nipping away outside off stump, Elgar plays away from the body and loses grip of the bat, thick outside edge flies and it's well taken flying to the left at third slip. In fact he's just sliced that. Elgar c Blackwood b Roach 0(5)
