Overton swung hard but missed. The ball smashed into the inside part of his thigh, very close to his knee. Overton was clearly in immense pain. He struggled for a moment and looked uncomfortable. The hit was powerful and clearly hurt him badly.
But despite the pain, he did not give up. He quickly ran and completed a leg bye to finish the innings. England ended their 20 overs at 146 for 9 against Sri Lanka in their Super 8 clash.
