Flintoff misses Headingley clash

Headingley, 2 September 2007
NATWEST SERIES, Headingley:
England v India

England will go into Sunday's one-day game against India at Headingley without all-rounder Andrew Flintoff.

He suffered fresh problems with his left ankle following Thursday's three-wicket win at Old Trafford.

Chris Tremlett is likely to take Flintoff's place in the side as England, who lead 3-1, try to wrap up the series with two games to spare.

India will not finalise their side until they have checked on Zaheer Khan (ankle) and Sourav Ganguly (illness).

0905: Bad news for England fans - big Freddie will miss the game at Headingley. More trouble with his left ankle apparently and that's doubly worrying as the ICC Twenty20 jaunt starts in nine days time.

0730: "Rain is going to be a bit of a nuisance at Headingley - it won't be raining all the time by any means but it wll be very frustrating for the umpires and players because it's not going to go away in a hurry."
