Lawry's 10 stitches in forehead and Test match notes
Australia batter Lawry suffered a forehead gash requiring ten stitches after a Peter Pollock delivery. Simpson criticized Lawry's form while praising stubborn Australian resistance led by Bill Lawry. Pollock bowled with hostility returning after Lawry’s injury as Procter debuted with three wickets.
