Boland cleared of injury after SCG mishap

The Victorian, who enjoyed a dream man-of-the-match debut at the MCG, was in much discomfort after the incident.

The fast bowler grabbed his right side after hitting the deck as teammates and England batter Jonny Bairstow checked on his welfare.

Boland left the venue to have a scan after the mishap.

But the second-gamer quickly returned to the SCG and was back in the nets, with medicos confident there is no damage.

Earlier, Boland claimed the prized scalp of Joe Root to extend a remarkable start to his Test career.

Boland had figures of 2-0 from four overs at lunch in Sydney, while he snared second-innings figures of 6-7 to help Australia retain the urn with victory in the Boxing Day Test.
