England have not played a test match without at least one game from Stewart Broad or James Anderson since October 2016

Stewart Broad will miss the rest of the England Test series against India with a calf injury sustained in the warm-up before the second Test.

The 35-year-old sat in the clear session on Tuesday feeling uncomfortable and later underwent an MRI scan in London on Wednesday at lunchtime, which revealed a rupture.

Broad missed the opportunity to appear in the 150th Test and was replaced by Lancashire tailor Saqib Mahmood.

Despite not being up to the test level, he wowed Mahmood in England’s recent one-day T20 series win over Pakistan and is the second player to join the group in recent days.

Moeen Ali was called up to the Test team for the first time in six months on Tuesday and played the last Test for England in February, as well as against India in Chennai.

With both Mahmoud and Moein in camp, England opted to release Dom Pace from the squad.

The turntable has not been named in the Play XI squad for Test 1 in Nottingham, which ended in a draw and will now return to Yorkshire and could play in the Royal London Cup match at Glamorgan on Thursday.

England captain Joe Root says he has ‘always been a huge fan’ of Moin Ali and is happy to bring him back to the Test team for the first time in six months

England also have concerns about James Anderson struggling with a tight four-way ahead of the second Test at Lords, live on Sky Sports.

The 39-year-old has not played in the net for two days and is said to have a 50-50 chance of playing, further exacerbating England’s problems.

England haven’t played a Test match without Anderson and Broad since October 2016, but that’s a realistic possibility now.

Ole Robinson will rise in the offside arrangement to take over the new ball duties, with Mark Wood called up and Craig Overton vying with Mahmoud for the remaining spot.

England and India lowered WTC points for slowdown in prices

England and India were fined 40 per cent of their match fees and two World Championship Test points each for maintaining slow rates in the first Test in Nottingham.

Both sides earned four points after a draw at Trent Bridge. However, these were later halved after both teams were judged to be below their goals by match referee Chris Broad.

Both groups of players were also fined 40 per cent of match fees – losing 20 per cent for each team failing to hit the ball on time.

Captain Joe Root and Virat Kohli pleaded guilty and accepted the penalties.

Earlier this year, Australia missed a place in the opening Trial World Championship final after docking points for a slow average in the Boxing Day Test against India.

Australia was penalized by four points – a penalty that allowed New Zealand to narrowly beat them in the final standings.
