England captain Alastair Cook is an injury doubt for the second Royal London One-Day International against Sri Lanka
England captain Alastair Cook is an injury doubt for the second Royal London One-Day International against Sri Lanka, and Alex Hales has been called in as cover.
Cook has a tight groin and faces a fitness test on Sunday morning to determine whether he can lead England at Chester-le-Street.
Twenty20 specialist Hales, uncapped in the ODI format, will travel up to Durham on Saturday night but may be released back to county duty with Nottinghamshire if Cook is available after all.
