The New Zealand and Pakistan cricketers have observed a moment's silence and are wearing black arms bands to remember the Australian player Phil Hughes.
Hughes passed away today, two days after being hit by a bouncer while playing for South Australia in Sydney.
Hughes was in fine form for South Australia, and in line to regain a place in the Test team, when felled by a bouncer from New South Wales fast bowler Sean Abbott in a Sheffield Shield match at the Sydney Cricket Ground on Tuesday.

The 26-Test left-hander underwent emergency surgery to reduce pressure on his brain later that day and never regained consciousness.
A team spokesperson says the Black Caps only learnt of Hughes passing shortly before taking the field and the dressing room was very sombre.
Meanwhile there are doubts over whether the first cricket test between Australia and India will go ahead next week in Brisbane in the wake of Hughes' death.
The entire round of domestic Sheffield Shield matches have been called off there are doubts whether the test in Brisbane, which is due to start today week, will go ahead.
The former Australia captain Allan Border says he'd understand if players wanted to pull out of the Test match.
"There'll be guys, particularly the guys that were out on the field at the time, (when Hughes was struck) that are named in the Test squad - they mightn't be feeling like playing cricket at the moment,"
The Test squad is due to begin assembling in Brisbane on Sunday.
