Jack Leach withdrawn from NZ Test match with concussion after fielding incident

England spinner Jack Leach has been ruled out of the remainder of the first Test against New Zealand after he suffered a concussion while fielding.

After diving to stop a four, Leach landed awkwardly over the boundary and was immediately tended to by the New Zealand medical team. The spinner was able to get back to his feet after a few minutes and walked off the field to be assessed.

Unfortunately, Leach suffered a concussion and has been withdrawn from the Test as a result. Matt Parkinson will now make his Test debut, having been named as a concussion replacement for Leach.
