🔗 Share this article Seamer Atkinson Exacerbates England's Injury Worries. 'Significant concern' for the touring side after Atkinson goes off with a hamstring injury. The pace bowler further complicated the fitness woes of the England squad when he left the ground on the second morning in the Melbourne Test in the Ashes series. The right-arm seamer felt a problem in his hamstring immediately following a delivery of the fourth over during the morning session. Team management indicated the 27-year-old felt some "soreness" and would spend time away from the action for further assessment "over the next few hours". The series decider of the series in Sydney gets underway this coming Sunday. The visitors have already lost fast bowlers one seamer with a knee problem and Jofra Archer with an abdominal strain during this series. A replacement bowler was brought into the squad as cover for Wood. His form was underwhelming in the opening two Tests, claiming a mere a handful of scalps. He was dropped for the Adelaide match, before being recalled for the fourth Test as Archer's replacement. The county bowler performed better in the fourth Test, taking two wickets in Australia's first innings, then making 28 with the bat among just a trio of teammates to reach double figures. Following a brief spell late on the first day, he came back the next day and dismissed the nightwatchman taken by the wicketkeeper. Yet, towards the conclusion of the fifth over, he sent down a slower ball to Travis Head and promptly felt at his leg. Gus Atkinson was recalled for the fourth Ashes Test following his omission of the third.
