Talat tried to stop the ball near the boundary, but he stepped on the foam while touching it. He then fell into the advertising boards and landed hard on his left shoulder. On-lookers rushed towards Talat, before a stretcher was brought on to take him to the nearby ambulance.

The PCB informed in a press release that, "Talat received immediate medical attention from the team's medical staff on the field. Following the initial assessment, he has been taken to a hospital for a detailed examination. The nature and extent of the injury will be determined after the doctors complete further medical evaluation."

The match stopped an over after Talat got hurt because of lightning, and a hailstorm kept the players indoors. Bangladesh leads the series 1-0, but Pakistan was doing well in the second game, scoring 274, thanks to opener Maaz Sadaqat’s half-century. Shaheen Shah Afridi got into the act with the new ball, picking up two wickets and leaving Bangladesh 27 for 3 in 6.3 overs when the weather turned wild.
