ALL OVER FOR STAR BOWLER

Injury blow floors Jamie

- by DAVID CHARLESWORTH

JAMIE OVERTON has been ruled out of the rest of England’s white-ball series against West Indies after picking up a broken finger in Thursday’s first ODI.

The 31-year-old dropped a sharp return catch from just his second delivery in the Windies’ reply to England's 400-8 - and immediately sprinted to the dressing room clutching his right hand while grimacing.

After some treatment, the fast bowl-ing all-rounder returned and sent down five more overs, impressively claiming career-best ODI figures of 3-22 in the 238-run victory - but he is now set for a short spell on the sidelines.

“Jamie Overton has been ruled out of the remaining Metro Bank one-day in-ternationals and the Vitality IT20s against the West Indies due to a broken right finger,” an ECB statement said.

England will not draft in a replace-ment for the last two ODIs - on Sunday at Cardiff and Tuesday at the Kia Oval - or the three-match T20 series.
