Brydon Carse out of third South Africa ODI with toe injury

England will not be calling up a replacement for the series decider at Headingley on Sunday (July 24)

England men will be without Brydon Carse when they go in search of a first home bilateral white-ball series victory of the summer against South Africa at Headingley.

The 118-run victory over The Proteas leaves the series nicely poised heading into the third and final ODI in Leeds.

But Carse will be absent after suffering an injured right big toe during the first ODI on his home ground at Chester-le-Street.

He left the squad on Saturday (July 23) and will be assessed this week. The hosts will not be calling up a replacement for the game.

Carse had played in all four of England's home summer ODIs before injury struck, taking three wickets.

Not named in the T20I squad for the three-match series, he returns to Durham but the LV= Insurance County Championship visit of Middlesex starting on Monday (July 25) likely comes too soon.

Northern Superchargers, whose head coach is James Foster, will also be monitoring the situation ahead of the men's Hundred starting on August 3.
