Kevin Pietersen reiterates that his knee is "absolutely fine" ahead of this week's opening Ashes Test against Australia.

England batsman Kevin Pietersen has insisted that his knee is "absolutely fine" following concerns over his fitness.

The 33-year-old was recently declared fit for the opening Ashes Test against Australia in Brisbane, despite a persistent knee injury.

Pietersen reiterated that he was fine once again today when he was asked by a Twitter follower if his knee was 'holding up'.

The first Test in Brisbane beginning on Thursday this week will mark the batsman's 100th match.
