hamstring

Doggett, an outstanding bowler in domestic cricket over recent years, will pull on a Baggy Green for the first time after Josh Hazlewood was ruled out with a hamstring strain.

Captain Pat Cummins is out for at least the first Test because of a back problem, while fellow pace bowler Josh Hazlewood misses out because of a hamstring issue.

A goal from the heavens, from a man who has been through so much since the summer of 2024 when his Euro campaign was cut short by a hamstring injury.

All three started the 33-19 win over New Zealand last weekend, but George and Lawrence picked up hamstring injuries while Roebuck has a foot problem.

Wood has not played a Test since August 2024 and felt tightness in his left hamstring during England's only Ashes warm-up match.
