Bangladesh captain Mushfiqur Rahim was alert and feeling fine after being taken to hospital on Monday after being struck in the back of the helmet by a bouncer from Tim Southee on the final day of the first Test against New Zealand.
Teammate Tamim Iqbal told reporters that Mushfiqur was fine and that he had been taken to hospital as a precaution.
Television reported the wicketkeeper was talking and had told them to tell his family in Bangladesh he was OK.
Mushfiqur was already batting with a broken finger and was 13 not out when he tried to duck under a low bouncer and was struck. He began to kneel, then collapsed to the ground and was immediately attended by medical staff from both teams.
Play was delayed by more than 20 minutes as paramedics attended Mushfiqur, who lay motionless on his back near the crease. Mushfiqur was then taken to Wellington Hospital.
He is the second Bangladesh batsman to be taken to hospital by ambulance in this innings. Opening batsman Imrul Kayes was taken from the field on a stretcher on Thursday after suffering a leg injury.
