Chittagong, Oct 28: England fast bowler Stephen Harmison is likely to miss the second and final cricket Test against Bangladesh here tomorrow because of a hip injury.
Chittagong, Oct 28: England fast bowler Stephen Harmison is likely to miss the second and final cricket Test against Bangladesh here tomorrow because of a hip injury.
"There is a doubt over Harmison's participation because
of a slight hip injury," England captain Michael Vaughan said
today.
"We are yet to decide on the composition of the team for that reason."
Harmison was named man of the match in the opening match at Dhaka last week for his career-best match haul of nine wickets for 79 runs as England won their first ever Test against Bangladesh by seven wickets.
Vaughan said his team was confident going into the match as they had adjusted to the conditions.

Vaughan said his team was confident going into the match as they had adjusted to the conditions.
"We are hoping to win the series 2-0 and will play the same way as we did at Dhaka," said Vaughan, who scored 48 and
81 not out in the opening Test.
Bangladesh were 153 runs ahead with four wickets in hand going into the last day but lost their remaining four wickets for just 10 runs, setting England a target of 164 which was achieved before tea.
"There seems to be a little bit in the wicket for seamers here, otherwise it is likely to be a good batting track," Vaughan said of the pitch.
