ENGLAND IN SWEAT OVER MO

INJURY scares to Moeen Ali and Steven Finn have cast an early shadow over England’s Ashes preparations.

Less than a week into the trip Moeen’s side strain is the biggest concern, with his value to the side as an all-rounder, second only to Ben Stokes, is huge.

With Stokes out of the tour, to lose another influential player for any part of this series would be catastrophic for England.

Moeen (above) is understood to have felt discomfort during batting practice on Wednesday.

Pace bowler Finn has a problem with his left knee and he and Moeen will both have scans.
