Gay clutched his shoulder after hitting a four and was unable to continue his innings, retiring on nine not out after receiving initial treatment from the physio. This injury raises concerns as Gay was recently named in England's 16-man squad for the upcoming three-Test series against Pakistan, where he was primed to open alongside Ben Duckett. A potential absence for Gay would be a significant blow to the player, who made his Test debut earlier in the summer and is seeking to secure his place in the side under new coach Stephen Fleming.
