With the match scheduled start in a few hours, I wanted to have a look at the injury concerns for both the squads. The home team, ie England, will always have an advantage as they can always call backup players anytime. It gets more serious for the visitors, if they have two or more players down with injury.
The latest to be injured is Matthew Hoggard from England. Its believed that he has back spasms and has been sent to the hospital for further analysis. Here is a list of the players who are not fully fit:
England:
1. Mathew Hoggard - back spasms
2. Steve Harmison - groin
3. Andrew Flintoff - ankle
India:
1. Rahul Dravid - calf strain

After a stunning performance with the ball in the recently concluded test series against the West Indies, Monty Panesar has made it to the ICC Top 10 list of test bowlers. With a total of 23 wickets, Monty gained a total of 6 places to be joint 6th on the ICC list with fellow bowler Mathew Hoggard. Monty will have a chance to further improve his tally during the forthcoming series against India, although, I might add that this will be extremely difficult as Indians are the best players of spin bowling. Ask Shane Warne.
