Fast bowler Atkinson Adds to the English team's Injury Problems.

Gus Atkinson increased the injury concerns plaguing England upon exiting the field on the second morning in the Melbourne Test versus the Australians.

Atkinson pulled up with his left hamstring after the final ball in his spell at the MCG.

Team management stated Atkinson had experienced "tightness" and would spend time away from the action in order to be assessed "in the coming hours".

The concluding match of the tour beginning on 4 January begins this coming Sunday.

England have already lost key quicks one seamer with a knee problem and Jofra Archer because of a side injury during this series.

Matthew Fisher was brought into the squad as cover for Wood.

The seamer had a tough time in the opening two Tests, managing only a handful of scalps.

He was omitted from the previous Test, before being recalled for the fourth Test as Archer's replacement.

The county bowler showed better form in Melbourne, claiming a couple of wickets during the host's first knock, before adding 28 while batting as one of just three England players to get into double digits.

Post a single over late on the first day, he returned on Saturday morning and had nightwatchman edging to the keeper.

Yet, on the final ball of the fifth over, he delivered a slower ball to Travis Head and suddenly grabbed at his leg.
