West Indies have received an injury scare after Andre Russell appeared to pick up an injury whilst in the field.

The allrounder was collecting the ball when fielding at fine leg during Oshane Thomas' over and seemed to hurt his lower left leg.

Russell, who had figures of two wickets for four runs from three overs, immediately had treatment on the boundary during the 22nd over of Pakistan's innings, who were 103 for 9.

The 31-year-old had claimed the wickets of Fakhar Zaman and Haris Sohail before the scare to help his side bowl Pakistan out for 105 at Trent Bridge.

Zaman fell victim to bad luck and the raw speed of Russell after he was bowled from a bouncer before Sohail was caught behind in an emphatic bowling display by Jason Holder's men.

Russell, who is just two runs short of 1,000 ODI runs, is also in fine form with the bat after he struck 54 off 25 balls against New Zealand in their warm-up match earlier this week.
