Brett Lee breaks Shane Warne's hand in exhibition match at Lord's as Aaron Finch steals the show
Brett Lee, representing the Marylebone Cricket Club against Rest of the World team in a one-day match marking the 200th anniversary of the 'home of cricket, may owe Shane Warne a glass or two of red wine after breaking the bowling hand of Australia's most prolific wicket-taker.
Lee opened the final over of the ROW's innings with a beamer directed at Warne's midriff, but the 45-year-old reacted quickly enough to get his right hand in the way.
While Warne managed to bat out the over to finish unbeaten on three, he could not take his place in the field - instead having X-rays which confirmed the break.

Meanwhile, Aaron Finch seized his chance to shine among some of cricket's greatest players with a commanding innings of 181 not out as MCC won by seven wickets.
Set 294 to win, MCC finished on 3-296 with 25 balls to spare against an equally star-studded Rest of the World team.
Finch, already in England playing for Yorkshire, was involved in partnerships with three of the best batsmen cricket has known to cap a memorable Lord's debut for the 27-year-old.
He put on 107 for the first wicket with Indian hero Sachin Tendulkar. Finch then added 67 and 122 with two contrasting West Indies left-handers in Brian Lara (23) and Shivnarine Chanderpaul (37 not out) respectively.
Earlier, Yuvraj Singh's blistering 132 off 134 balls took the Rest of the World to 7-293 after they had collapsed to 5-68 following four wickets for Pakistan off-spinner Saeed Ajmal.

However, the 'Little Master' fell to a familiar foe when, trying to cut Muttiah Muralitharan, he got a bottom edge and was bowled by the Sri Lanka off-spinner, Test cricket's most successful bowler.
Left-hander Lara also showed his enduring class with a cracking drive behind point off West Indies paceman Tino Best and a booming drive off Paul Collingwood, both shots typical of the Trinidad star at his best.
