Australia suffered a bowling setback of their own in Perth after fast bowler Josh Hazlewood was forced off the field on the second day of the Test match with a hamstring strain, reports Reuters. The fast bowler pulled up feeling his left hamstring midway through his second over and left the field.

Hazlewood will undergo a MRI scan in the evening, which will offer more clarity on his participation in the remainder of this two-Test series. For the time being though, both teams have been reduced to 10 players each with New Zealand's Lockie Ferguson was restricted to just 11 overs of bowling on the opening day of his debut Test after picking up a calf injury.
