England's major injury worry ahead of their World Cup opener against New Zealand is James Anderson, but two other key players were in the wars during the team's training session in St Lucia on Wednesday. Paul Collingwood was stung by a bee and in the process of trying to waft it away knocked the insect towards Liam Plunkett who was also stung. However, neither player was sent for scan or x-ray.
