Watch: Broadcaster Ends Up In Hospital, Courtesy Brett Lee's Delivery. Here's How

Australian commentator Mark Howard was left bleeding after a bail hit him on the head during a promo shoot in Sydney. Ahead of the second Test between India and Australia, legendary pacer Brett Lee was doing a bowling challenge while Howard was wicketkeeping. Lee fired a vicious delivery that went on to hit top of off. While Howard did collect the ball, the follow through saw the bail hit Howard on the side of his forehead, leaving the veteran commentary bleeding. Howard was rushed to the hospital where he had to be stitched up.

Lee revealed that he heard two sounds but didn't realise about Howard's injury until the latter hunched over in grimace.

"We were filming today, doing a bowling challenge. I bowled a ball, it went through the top of off, Howie was keeping, he's caught the ball and I've heard two noises," Lee told News Corp.

"I've seen him hunched over and I thought, 'geez, what's happened,' and I've realised the bail has flown through and impaled him right in the middle of the head and there was claret everywhere. He was bleeding pretty badly. But in all my years playing cricket at a professional level, I've never seen a bail travel that quick or that fast. It was a one in a million chance of it happening and I think the bail hit him first before he caught the ball, which means it must have literally hit the top of off stump," he added.
