Gus Atkinson added to England's injury problems when he left the playing area early on day two of the fourth Ashes Test versus the Australians. The right-arm seamer experienced discomfort in his hamstring after the final ball of the fourth over on Saturday. Team management reported the 27-year-old reported "discomfort" and was to take time away from the action to undergo evaluation "in the coming hours". The final Test in this Ashes battle in Sydney gets underway this coming Sunday. The visitors have previously lost strike bowlers Mark Wood to a knee injury and another paceman to a side strain during this series. Matthew Fisher was added to the party to provide backup. His form was underwhelming in the opening two Tests, claiming a mere three wickets. He was left out for the Adelaide match, then recalled for the Melbourne Test in the playing XI. The county bowler performed better in the fourth Test, bagging two scalps in Australia's first innings, before adding 28 as a batsman among just a trio of English batsmen to reach double figures. Following a brief spell late on the first day, he came back for the second day's play and had nightwatchman taken by the wicketkeeper. However, on the final ball of his spell, he sent down a slower ball to Travis Head and promptly felt at his leg. The English bowler returned to the side for the Boxing Day Test after being left out the Adelaide game.
