Anderson takes the strain Bowler diagnosed with grade one strain - will still bat in Cardiff Last Updated: May 28, 2011 Anderson: will be able to bat in Cardiff, despite a grade one strain in his left side ....Injured seamer James Anderson will not bowl again in the first Test against Sri Lanka - and he is also doubt for the second match of the series at Lord's. The Lancastrian left the field for treatment twice during the match in Cardiff on day two and bowled just one over in the evening session. He was able to come out as England's nightwatchman late in proceedings as he is able to bat pain-free, before being sent for scans on Friday night. The England and Wales Cricket Board have now confirmed that Anderson has been diagnosed with a grade one strain in his left side. While the grade is the least serious, the 28-year-old doesn't have long to recover - the second Test begins at Lord's on June 3. An ECB spokesman said: "Scans have shown James Anderson has a grade one side strain and will not bowl for the rest of the first npower Test. He will bat as it poses minimal risk of further damage. "His involvement in the second npower Test will be determined following assessment after the first Test." Anderson was comfortably the pick of England's four-man attack in the first innings at the SWALEC Stadium, picking up three wickets. Link to comment
