Watch as bowler Andrew Ellis was struck on the head by a straight drive which went for six.

In the Ford Trophy on Wednesday at Colin Maiden Park, Canterbury captain Ellis was struck on the head by a straight drive off the bat of Auckland opener Jeet Raval.

The ball bounced off his head and over the boundary rope for six runs.

That is one tough nut. The stroke was recorded as 6, one bounce off Andrew Ellis’s scone. Passed the concussion test & carried on….???? #FordTrophy pic.twitter.com/2zsfLCI3qd
