New Zealand impressed in the first Test, pushing for a win and forcing England to battle for survival.
However, Williamson's injury will be a concern for New Zealand, who will face India in the ICC World Test Championship final in Southampton on June 18. New Zealand may be tempted to play it easy against England because of the upcoming big encounter.
Williamson, who has a big fan base in India, also received plenty of 'Get well soon' comments on Twitter, with many urging him not to hurry into a comeback
Oh no 💔 should take a month rest. No risk for future.
