Paceman Gus Atkinson Adds to England's Injury Worries.
'Major setback' for the English camp as Atkinson is forced off with a hamstring injury.
The pace bowler increased the injury concerns plaguing England after leaving the ground during Saturday's play in the Melbourne Test versus the Australians.
The pace bowler felt a problem in his left leg immediately following a delivery of the fourth over on Saturday.
The England team reported Atkinson reported "discomfort" and required time on the sidelines for further assessment "over the next few hours".
The concluding match of the series beginning on 4 January begins on Sunday, 4 January.
The English side has been without fast bowlers Mark Wood with a knee problem and Jofra Archer with an abdominal strain on the current trip.
Matthew Fisher was called up to provide backup.
His form was underwhelming during the first two matches, taking just three wickets.
He was left out for the Adelaide match, then recalled for the Melbourne Test as Archer's replacement.
The county bowler showed better form in Melbourne, claiming a couple of wickets with the ball, and scoring 28 runs as a batsman as one of just three teammates who passed ten runs.
Post a single over in Australia's second innings, he returned the next day and removed Scott Boland taken by the wicketkeeper.
Yet, towards the conclusion of that over, he delivered a slower ball to the batsman and immediately felt at his leg.
Gus Atkinson was recalled for the Boxing Day Test after being left out the Adelaide game.
