An ECB spokesman said: "James has been receiving ice treatment to the area and will undergo an X-ray tomorrow morning, with further assessment likely in the next 24 to 48 hours."

Anderson is likely to be replaced by James Kirtley for the day-night game at the Premadasa Stadium in Colombo this Friday. The blow followed the news that Stephen Harmison will be unavailable for the forthcoming Test series with an injured back.
