Anderson concern for England
Saturday Mar 15 2008 08:12
England suffered an injury worry after the close of play on day three of the second Test against New Zealand in Wellington.
Fast bowler James Anderson, who took 5-73 in the Black Caps' first innings, fell over playing football and twisted his left ankle, before being forced to leave the Basin Reserve on crutches.
An England team spokesman confirmed: "He can put weight on it. The crutches were a precaution.
"We do not know whether he will be able to bowl at this stage, although the medical staff have not sent him for a scan. He will be reassessed in the morning."
Anderson will be crucial to England's chances of victory, having impressed in the home side's first innings after being preferred to Matthew Hoggard.
