Play had to be halted in Dubai during the Asia Cup Group A match between Pakistan and the UAE after umpire Ruchira Palliyaguruge was struck on the ear by a throw from a fielder playing for the former.

The incident happened in the last over of the powerplay in UAE’s innings, when a throw back to the bowler ended up hitting the umpire instead.
