New Zealand pacer Kyle Jamieson has been ruled out of the remainder of the second Test against England due to back injury.
Jamieson will undergo an MRI scan to establish the nature and extent of the problem, which is localised in the lower, left part of his back.
"Jamieson experienced sharp pain while bowling in the final session of day three forcing him from the field," the statement read.
The incident took place during the 17th over of England's first innings at Trent Bridge on Sunday and was treated by the Blackcaps' medical staff.
New Zealand are already missing the services of captain Kane Williamson, who had to pull out on the eve of this Test after he tested positive for Covid-19.
England enter day four 80 runs behind New Zealand on 473-5, with Joe Root unbeaten on 163. The tourists trail the three-test series 1-0 after a five-wicket defeat at Lord's last week.
