James Anderson could miss rest of Ashes with injury
James Anderson, England's all-time leading wicket-taker, is in danger of missing the fourth Test against Australia and possibly the rest of the Ashes series after suffering a side injury at Edgbaston on day two.
Anderson left the field three balls into his ninth over on Friday morning in Australia's second innings of the third Test with what appeared to be a side strain.
The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) subsequently released a statement via Twitter saying Anderson had a "tight side" and would be "assessed overnight".
Anderson's absence on Thursday did not harm England unduly, with recalled fast bowler Steven Finn taking 5 for 45 as Australia closed on 7 for 168 - a lead of just 23 runs with three days left in the match.
