WATCH: Umesh Yadav Hits Dean Elgar in the Helmet with a Bouncer

It took place on the third ball of the 10th over when Yadav’s delivery Elgar failed to understand as he was hit right in the middle of his helmet. He immediately fell down and got up after receiving medical attention.

However, it was the same reason, umpires decided to take an early tea break. After that Elgar has retired hurt as all-rounder George Linde walked in to bat alongside wicket-keeper batsman Heinrich Klaasen in the last session of the innings.

According to the report, Dean Elgar has been sent to a hospital for a concussion test. With South Africa already four wickets down, they certainly want him to bat again if they lose a couple of wickets again.

South Africa were bundled out for 162 in 56.2 overs in their first innings. At the time of writing this article, South Africa were batting at 132 for 8 in 45 overs.
