Medical staff and stretchers were immediately called for, and were swiftly joined on the outfield by three ambulances. Henriques, who appeared to be concussed when he tried to stand, left the field on a stretcher and gave a thumbs-up to the crowd.

Burns remained motionless for a longer period of time, before regaining consciousness and leaving the ground on the third ambulance. Both players were reported to have been placed on fluid drips, but Surrey tweeted that both were conscious and sitting up.

An announcement over loudspeakers later said that both players were conscious, and that the match was being abandoned.
