Mitch Marsh goes off injured at Gabba

Mitchell Marsh has limped off the field with a right hamstring injury just moments after lunch on day one of the second Commonwealth Bank Test at the Gabba.

Marsh, bowling from the Vulture St end, grimaced and pulled up short in his follow through, before he put his head in his hands and was comforted by brother Shaun.

He then walked off the ground, with Cricket Australia confirming a short time later that the allrounder had suffered "right hamstring soreness".

Marsh has had a history of problems with his left hamstring - including surgery in 2012 - but this injury is to his right hamstring.

The most recent of Marsh's left hamstring problems came during the Oppo T20 Champions League in September, which delayed his start to Australia's tour of the UAE.

He missed the 2013 Champions League with a hamstring problem suffered on Australia A's tour of South Africa, while his 2012-13 summer was hampered by a serious left hamstring injury he suffered while batting for Western Australia in the Ryobi Cup.

Injured Australia skipper Michael Clarke, watching the match from his home in Sydney, suggested as Marsh was shown walking off that the allrounder may have injured his hamstring when he tweeted "Hamstring?".

Clarke is recovering after undergoing surgery on his injured hamstring, and also tweeted an update on his situation (see below).
