Trescothick hopeful of making one-day series
Marcus Trescothick suffered a strain to his right thumb, not as at first feared a fracture, during the final session of play on the second day of the second Test at Chittagong.

The injury occurred when Trescothick, who was at first slip, dived to his left in an unsuccessful bid to catch an edge from Mushfiqur Rahman off Matthew Hoggard. The ball struck him on the end of his thumb, and a clearly uncomfortable Trescothick immediately jogged off the field.

He was rushed to hospital and there were fears that he might have sustained a more serious injury. "It was very, very sore and I was worried that it might be something serious, especially after what happened last year," a clearly relieved Trescothick said.
"At this stage I'm not sure when I'll be back but I'm hopeful of playing in the one-day series.

I feel relieved after being very sceptical about my immediate chances."
