England's assistant coach Paul Collingwood has played down injury fears over Ben Stokes after he was seen limping following a brief two over spell against New Zealand in Wellington.
Stokes has been dealing with a chronic knee problem ever since he took over as captain and while Collingwood admitted the issue is "always there", he insisted Stokes "knows how to manage it".
The all-rounder has gradually started bowling less and less, having delivered several lengthy spells of short pitched bowling last summer which put his left knee under severe pressure.
