Despite being 3-0 down, and needing to win all four remaining games, the hosts have opted to allow Collingwood and Anderson, fourth highest run scorer and wicket-taker for England in one-day internationals respectively, some time off. Both men have left the England squad preparing for today's must-win match at Lord's.

Former captain Collingwood will return for the final match of the campaign at the Riverside next weekend while Anderson will join up with the squad again for the second of back-to-back day-nighters at Trent Bridge.

Injured all-rounder Andrew Flintoff has been handed one of England's increment contracts for the next 12 months - but Steve Harmison and Monty Panesar have been completely overlooked.
