Rishabh Pant’s participation in the remainder of the fourth Test is in doubt after he suffered an injury on the opening day.

The India vice-captain copped a blow to his right foot off the fourth ball of the 68th over, bowled by Chris Woakes, and had to be wheeled off the field in a buggy. He has been taken for scans.

The injury came about when Pant attempted a premeditated reverse-sweep and was struck on the side of his right boot. England went up in appeal for a leg before and even sought a referral but replays showed that Pant had managed an inside-edge.

Pant was in considerable agony as he hobbled around while waiting for the physio to attend to him.
