Ben Stokes to face Headingley fitness test

Ben Stokes is to have a scan on his left hamstring and is likely to face a late fitness test on the morning of the second Test against Pakistan.

England's key all-rounder suffered a tight hamstring during fielding practice on Wednesday at Headingley, and was limited to shuttle runs with the team physio the next morning - despite reporting a slight improvement in the injury.

England then announced Stokes is to have a scan after practice, although he was the first to have a bat in the nets.

A brief England and Wales Cricket Board update on his condition added: "He feels better this morning.

"He has dome some running at full intensity without issues, (but is) expected to have a fitness test in the morning."

England called up Surrey's uncapped teenage seamer Sam Curran on Wednesday evening, as cover for Stokes.
