• Bowler had returned from five months off with calf problem
England’s chances of winning the Test series in South Africa have been hit by the news that Jimmy Anderson has been ruled out of the final two Tests with a left-rib injury.
The 37-year-old sustained the problem, which is understood to be bone-related rather than a soft tissue injury, on the final day of the dramatic 189-run win at Newlands that squared the series at 1-1 with two matches to play.
