Stuart Broad has raised the possibility of bowling in a face mask in the fifth Test against India that starts at The Oval on Friday after being included in an unchanged 13-man squad. | |
Broad tweeted a picture of his fractured nose on Sunday morning, saying: “Little bit sore this morning but not too bad! Doc did a great job with the stitches. On to The Oval! (With a mask)” | |
He was cleared of any further damage to his cheekbone or eye socket, and England issued a statement saying “the medical team anticipates he will be available for the fifth Test”. | |
Steve Finn has retained his place in the squad ahead of Liam Plunkett, who has been unable to prove his recovery from a foot problem quickly enough to be considered for a recall. Ben Stokes is also in the 13. | |
England won the fourth Test on Saturday by an innings and 54 runs to lead the series 2-1. | |
England squad: Cook, Robson, Ball ance, Bell, Root, Moeen Ali, Buttler, Woakes, Jordan, Broad, Anderson, Stokes, Finn. | |
