James Anderson to have scan on calf injury ahead of Ashes

England bowler James Anderson will have a scan on Friday on the calf injury which has threatened his participation in the Ashes series against Australia.

Anderson pulled up in his run-up while bowling on day three of Lancashire’s County Championship game with Durham.

The 36-year-old only returned to bat briefly with a runner and did not bowl for the remainder of the drawn game.

The problem was initially described as “tightness” by his county, while Anderson posted on Instagram that it was “a niggle but hopefully not too serious”.

However, the England and Wales Cricket Board has since confirmed that Anderson will have a scan on the problem.
