However, despite this, he came on the field to bat in Australia’s second innings.
Australian captain Pat Cummins said, “I was not particularly happy, but he was very keen to go there. He did a wonderful job. I can imagine that he is (out of the series).”

Lyon also came on the field for batting in the second innings and scored 4 runs with the help of a four. During this, Lyon faced 13 balls.
