England all-rounder Andrew Flintoff will miss the fourth cricket Test against West Indies in Barbados because of a right hip injury.

The England and Wales Cricket Board says a scan's revealed Flintoff has strained a muscle.

It's hoped that he will be fit for the final Test in Trinidad and the one-day series which follows.

Meanwhile the Sri Lankan cricketers are 406 for three at stumps on the opening day of the first Test against Pakistan in Karachi.
