Kyle jameson

Tall New Zealand pace bowler Kyle Jamieson will return home after an MRI scan revealed a stress-reaction to his lower left back during the second Test at Trent Bridge, which England won by five wickets to take an unassailable lead in the series.

The 27-year-old sustained the injury while bowling on day three of the Test and coach Gary Stead expected he would require four to six weeks of rest before beginning a rehabilitation programme targeting a potential return to play in September or October.
