Injury scare for 'keeper Matthew Wade

Wade is likely to play the Test. “He copped a knock to the cheek while facing throw downs in the nets this afternoon but batted on during training.

We sent him off for a precautionary scan after the session and he has a minor fracture, but has subsequently been cleared to play provided there is no excessive bruising and swelling overnight,” team doctor Peter Brukner said.
