Vettori hurts right knee

New Zealand have a potentially serious injury concern after Daniel Vettori limped off the Pallekele ground with what appeared to be a problem with his right knee. In the sixth over of Pakistan's innings, Vettori hit his knee on the turf as he dived at mid-on in an attempt to intercept a Kamran Akmal lofted drive.
He initially waved away the physio and stayed on the ground for two more deliveries, but was clearly in major discomfort. Before the over had finished, he hobbled slowly from the field and was helped around the boundary by New Zealand's medical staff.
"Daniel Vettori injured his right knee when going for a catch," a New Zealand team spokesman said. "He's currently having ice treatment and assessment of the injury."
Ross Taylor, the vice-captain, took over the on-field leadership, fresh from his brilliant century.
