Phil Salt out of England ODI clash with concussion after throwing himself over boundary

England suffered an injury scare in the final ODI against Australia when explosive opener Phil Salt was withdrawn from the game after suffering a concussion while fielding.

In the ninth over, Salt attempted to prevent a drive from David Warner from reaching the boundary and flung himself towards the ball with a desperate dive. However, he landed awkwardly on his head and shoulder and looked in immediate discomfort.

Salt was helped off the field by the England physio to go through the concussion protocol. And a few overs later it was confirmed that Moeen Ali had replaced him as a concussion substitute and would be able to bat in England's innings in Salt's place.
