That's a shame. Is Stokes fit enough to bowl?

He managed seven overs against Bangladesh, but I suspect there's a reluctance to push him too far too soon. England are entitled to call up a replacement (Finn, Roland-Jones or Broad most likely), and there's also the option of David Willey already in the squad. Will be a big miss though, nevertheless.

At Edgbaston, now the rain's finally cleared, New Zealand have been bowled out for 291. Australia chasing 292 off forty-six overs.
