The South African cricket team have been rocked by a scary collision between bowlers Kagiso Rabada and Marco Jansen in the field during their must-win clash against the West Indies.
Both bowlers were fielding in the outfield as they tracked a ball launched down the ground by Windies opener Kyle Mayers when they collided on the boundary rope.
The pair both had eyes on the ball and collided mid-air, with the ball spilling over the rope for a maximum as both remained on the ground grimacing in pain.

“That was always on the cards, where was the communication?” commentator Alison Mitchell said.
“This is not good for South Africa, both coming together, both eyes on the ball but what about each other?
“Now that’s a heavy blow, Jansen is in real trouble.”
Former New Zealand quick Danny Morrison added: “This is where a horrible thing like a broken leg can happen, man it is a solid collision. That’s not much fun… the second blow he lands awkwardly. I’m so pleased to see him up and walking.”
Thankfully, both men were able to walk away from the incident without much assistance.
England take FIVE wickets in 6 balls! | 01:47
The West Indies set the South Africans a target of 136 for victory after master blaster Roston Chase hit 52 runs from 42 deliveries to get his side to a respectable score.
His side were reeling at 2/5 after Jansen and spinner Aiden Markram struck early for South Africa, but an 81-run stand between Chase and Mayers (35 runs off 34 balls) saw the West Indies steady the ship.
South African leg spinner Tabraiz Shamsi was the chief destroyer for the Proteas with figures of 3/27 off his four overs, while fellow spinner Keshav Maharaj controlled the middle overs with a tight, economical spell.
