England all-rounder Ben Stokes to undergo shoulder scan

The ECB have confirmed that Ben Stokes will undergo a scan on the suspected dislocated shoulder that he sustained in the field earlier today.

In attempting to catch a Misbah-ul-Huq shot during the evening session on day one of the third Test, the England all-rounder landed awkwardly on his shoulder and signalled immediately that he was in pain.

After some treatment from the medical staff the 24-year-old was helped from the pitch with his right arm in a makeshift sling.

The initial suspicion was that Stokes has suffered a dislocation of the joint, but the extent of the damage will be confirmed tomorrow morning.

The injury to Stokes was the only negative for the tourists, who bowled out Pakistan for 234 runs.
