England batsman Alex Hales 'assessed ahead of third Test due to stomach bug'

By , Staff Reporter
England batsman Alex Hales is reportedly being assessed ahead of the third Test against South Africa due to a stomach bug.

England batsman Alex Hales is a doubt for tomorrow's third Test against South Africa as he reportedly has a stomach bug.

Hales opened the batting alongside Alastair Cook in the last two Tests, but it is not clear whether the 27-year-old will be fit to feature in Johannesburg tomorrow.

According to Sky Sports News, Hales is being assessed by England's medical team.

England have a 1-0 lead and can win the series if they beat the Proteas in the third Test.
