In a series that has seen its fair share of drama, the morning session of the Pink Test was perhaps the most heart-wrenching moment yet. With England struggling to save the match, the confrontation between the towering Green and the 22-year-old English batsman turned hostile, reminding everyone of the brutal physical reality of Test cricket.

The ball hit Bethel with a vicious thud on the side of his helmet, the force of the impact knocking him off his feet and onto the SCG field.
