Moises Henriques has followed Surrey team-mate Rory Burns in being released from hospital, two days on from the duo's sickening collision that forced a domestic Twenty20 match against Sussex to be abandoned.

Burns and Henriques were hurt at Arundel on Sunday when they ran into each other at high speed as they both tried to complete a catch.

Amid serious concern over the condition of both players, three ambulances entered the field of play - and there was a lengthy stoppage before the two men were eventually able to be moved.

Batsman Burns suffered facial and head injuries but left hospital on Monday, while Henriques was forced to remain for a further 24 hours after surgery on his jaw, which was broken in three places.

On Tuesday, Surrey tweeted that Henriques had also been discharged, although the 28-year-old all-rounder - who has represented Australia on 13 occasions - will require further treatment.

A tweet from the club's official account read: "More good news on the lads - Moises has now been released from hospital and will see a dental specialist tomorrow. He's improving slowly!"

An image of Burns and Henriques lying side by side on hospital trolleys holding hands was tweeted by the former on Monday and has proven popular on social media.
