Jimmy’s concern

-

MIKE SWANN INJURED England ace Jimmy Anderson faces a scan on his injured groin tomorrow.

The Burnley paceman limped out of Lancashire’s County Championsh­ip clash with Yorkshire on Friday after only six overs.

England’s all-time record wicket-taker was nowhere to be seen yesterday and Yorkshire’s batsmen now look unlikely to face Anderson, 34, again in this match.

Lancashire confirmed Anderson’s absence on their Twitter account: “The second day of the Roses match about to start. @jimmy9 is not out in the field this morning.”

Anderson had been scheduled to play in Lancashire’s next four championsh­ip matches before the Test series against South Africa which starts at Lord’s on July 6.
