  • Cutting departs from script

    Ben Cutting's spell during the afternoon may have caught the selectors' eye, whilst also giving England the testing workout they craved

  • Pietersen knee trouble flares again

    England's wicketkeeper Matt Prior is under a fitness cloud 12 days before the first Ashes Test in Brisbane
