England bowler Atkinson comes off injured in Melbourne test
Atkinson's hamstring injury reduces England's seam bowling options to three during the Boxing Day Test at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, officials said.
- England paceman Gus Atkinson limped off the Melbourne Cricket Ground on the second morning of the Boxing Day Test and was removed from the field for assessment.
- Recalled to replace Jofra Archer after being dropped for the Adelaide match last week, Gus Atkinson had earlier taken Scott Boland's wicket and bowled well on day one.
- After delivering the final ball of his fourth over to Travis Head, Gus Atkinson pulled up short, released a meek delivery, then took his cap and slowly walked off for treatment of an apparent left hamstring problem.
- With limited seam resources remaining, England face a significant blow on a dicey wicket, relying on Brydon Carse, Josh Tongue, and all-rounder Ben Stokes as their only pace options.
- With Jofra Archer and Mark Wood ruled out for the rest of the series, Matthew Potts is considered front of the queue for a call-up for the Sydney Test from January 4, while Matthew Fisher is another option.
