Michael Clarke is unlikely to be available for Australia's match against Bangladesh, at Old Trafford, tomorrow. Clarke has been struggling with a back injury, which forced him to miss the game against England on Thursday.

He watched Australia's 57-run win from his hotel bed and only went to The Riverside to receive treatment from Errol Alcott, the Australian physio. "He is improving and responding favourably to treatment, but it is unlikely that he will be available tomorrow," said Alcott. "We will continue to monitor his progress over the next couple of days.

Clarke had shown some good form in the early stages of the NatWest Series, making 54 against Bangladesh at Cardiff and 45 against England at Bristol, but Australia's middle-order is now well-stocked after the return of Andrew Symonds.
