Blair Tickner was fielding at fine leg in the 67th over of the West Indies’ innings. During this time, he dove at fine leg trying to save a boundary off Tagenarine Chanderpaul’s shot. That’s when he injured himself. It appeared as if his left shoulder was dislocated and then he was taken off the field on a stretcher.
