James Anderson has given England an injury scare ahead of the Ashes this summer, with the 40-year-old confirmed to have suffered a groin strain during a County Championship match for Lancashire.
The bowler underwent a scan having missed three days of the Championship match against Somerset, with confirmation coming that he had suffered a mild strain to his right-groin during the game. The news is highly unwelcome, with England's Ashes preparations suffering another injury blow to a key player.
Having bowled 14 overs of day one of the four-day match at Taunton, Anderson did not see any action for the final three days. While England's all-time leading wicket taker is not expected to miss the Ashes, scans have revealed an injury which will be a setback in preparations to face Australia over the next month.
