Hampshire batsman Michael Carberry has been added to England's squad for the third Test against South Africa as cover for
Paul Collingwood.
Collingwood dislocated his left index finger during regular fielding practice before the fourth day's play of the second Test, which ended in victory for England by an innings and 98 runs.
X-rays have shown that the Durham star did not break any bones though and he is expected to feature in the Newlands Test which is scheduled to start on Sunday.
The 33-year-old made an important 91 on Monday and also played a crucial innings in the drawn first Test in Centurion.
