England off-spinner Moeen Ali likely to be fit for third Ashes Test

LONDON: England off-spinner Moeen Ali should be fit to face Australia in the third Test at Headingley with his finger injury healing well, according to bowling coach Jeetan Patel.

Moeen, recalled to the Test squad after a back injury to Jack Leach, suffered a cut finger in the opening match at Edgbaston and was not selected for the ongoing Lord's clash.

"Fingers crossed that in the next couple of days, he gets to rest it and he gets to Headingley and he's ready to go," Patel said on Saturday.

"It was pretty disgusting at the end of the Edgbaston Test… we've tried to look after it as much as we can. It's looking in really good shape; it's healed really, really well." Agencies
