The New Zealand pace bowler Trent Boult is in doubt for the Champions Trophy one day cricket tournament in England because of a nagging side strain.
Left armer Boult has carried the fight for the Black Caps recently with 19 wickets in 5 tests against England, but his side strain isn't responding to treatment and he'll have a scan in London tonight to assess the injury.
Boult didn't bowl in the final stages of the second test at Headingley where the home side wrapped up New Zealand for 220 in their second innings to win the match by 247 runs.
The England off spinner Graeme Swann took a man-of-the-match 10 wickets, while the young home batsman Joe Root and the Blacks Caps' pace bowler were voted Players of the Series.
The first of three one-day internationals is at Lord's on Friday night.
