England seamer Matthew Hoggard is a doubt for the second Test against Sri Lanka, which starts on Sunday. Hoggard suffered a back injury while bowling on the fourth day of the 88-run first Test defeat and had to ask for a runner when batting on the final day.
"Hoggard's got a stiff back and has got to be a doubt for the next Test," said England skipper Michael Vaughan.
Asked if that could mean a return for Steve Harmison, he added: "Could do - everyone's available for selection."
