Australia wicketkeeper Brad Haddin has injured his right shoulder early on day two of the second Test against Pakistan in Abu Dhabi.

Haddin dove and successfully saved an edge from Younis Khan the bowling of Peter Siddle, but immediately clutched his right shoulder as he got up from the turf.

Team physio Alex Kountouris tended to the keeper, who initially elected to battle on, before David Warner left the field to retrieve another set of wicketkeeping gloves and take his place behind the stumps.

Haddin survived another 15 deliveries beyond the incident before leaving the field for treatment.

Warner, typically, immediately found himself at the centre of the action.

Initially, he missed a leg-side stumping opportunity, as Nathan Lyon lured Younis out of his crease only to see the chance go begging.

An over later, Mitchell Starc drew a leg-side edge from Azhar Ali, and Warner was quick to react, diving to this right and snaffling the chance to end a 236-run stand.

But Warner's glory in the gloves was short-lived as 37-year-old Haddin, renowned within Australian playing circles for his toughness, returned to the fray after lunch.

Noticeably wincing in pain when appealing or straining his right shoulder throughout the second session, the keeper stood firm until midway through the final session, when he again left the field.

Warner again took over the keeping duties, and while it was confirmed there was no dislocation of the shoulder, it remains to be seen whether he will be fit enough to bat.
