• Tourists may have to rejig the batting to face West Indies
Ben Stokes has emerged as an injury doubt for the third Test against West Indies starting on Saturday with a bruised right heel that may have been caused by running on the beach.
The all-rounder reported soreness in the area after the team underwent a fitness session on the sands of Rodney Bay on Wednesday morning and did not appear 24 hours later, when practice resumed at the Darren Sammy Stadium.
