CRICKET England face an anxious wait over the fitness of Sophie Ecclestone for their Women's Cricket World Cup semi-final against South Africa after the star spinner damaged her shoulder in the final group game.

Sophie Ecclestone
Ecclestone was hurt in the first over of England's comfortable eight-wicket win over New Zealand in Visakhapatnam chasing a ball to the boundary.
Her knee appeared to lock just yards from the rope and the 26-year-old jarred her left bowling shoulder as she took a heavy fall.
Ecclestone - the world's number one ranked bowler in women's ODIs who has taken 137 wickets in 81 matches for England - left the field before returning to bowl.
She removed Brooke Halliday, caught by Sophia Dunkley at deep mid-wicket, but called it a day after sending down just four deliveries, with the England and Wales Cricket Board later confirming Ecclestone was receiving treatment for the injury.
