England spearhead James Anderson missed the whole of Saturday's play in Lancashire's Roses clash with Yorkshire because of a groin injury and may take no further part in the match.

Anderson, England's all-time leading wicket-taker in Tests, has not been in action at Old Trafford since limping off clutching his groin on Friday's first day.

However, as he is no longer involved in international white-ball cricket, Anderson does have time to recover before his anticipated involvement in England's first Test of their home season against South Africa at Lord's on July.
