England's under-pressure cricketers have been fighting a sickness bug that has spread through the camp since their chastening third Test thrashing. 'There's been a bit of stuff flying round and we'll keep monitoring it,' admitted Root. The member of the camp worst affected by sickness, according to an England spokesman, was assistant coach Paul Collingwood but he was also able to play a part in training. We've had some good conversations and the last couple of days the guys have got stuck in and worked really hard. This is still a huge game for us and it would be a brilliant achievement to leave here at 2-2.'
