Collingwood's recovery going well

Paul Collingwood should be back in action in four weeks time. He has missed the whole of the season so far after dislocating his shoulder in a pre-season friendly match for Durham.

However, the good news for Durham and England is that he is on his way back: "I'm ahead of schedule," he said. "I haven't put a final date on when I want to be coming back but I'd say it will be three or four weeks' time."

And Collingwood has got his sights on an international comeback too. "I think we've got three four-day games in September and I hope I can get in there and stake a claim for the Bangladesh tour.

"I need to be 100% fit to go to Bangladesh. I need to train on the bike, on the training ground - and in the nets on my technique.

"Then I need to get out in the centre and get some overs under my belt. I'm nearly there now - I can see light at the end of the tunnel."
