Piers Morgan may appear to have the thickest skin on the planet but Australian fast bowler Brett Lee still managed to get under it.

The CNN presenter and former newspaper editor who had tweeted his bruises and reported a cracked wrist after facing the former international in a stunt exhibition over before 2000 spectators on Saturday has now confirmed the damage was more serious.

"BREAKING (literally) NEWS: Fractured rib confirmed by X-ray … thanks again @BrettLee_58", Morgan told his 3.9m Twitter followers. Suspicions that he had not escaped as lightly as he might have hoped from Lee's barrage were already circulating. Former England cricket captain Michael Vaughan had already tweeted "Rumours @piersmorgan has a broken rib … I am sure you all will give him plenty of sympathy … !!!!!"
