Stuart Broad won't bowl in third Ashes Test

England fast bowler Stuart Broad has said that he won't bowl for the remainder of the third Ashes Test against Australia due to a foot injury sustained on the third day.

The tourists trail the hosts by 369 runs with two days of play remaining, and the 27-year-old picked up the foot injury in his first innings total of five while facing Australia's leading wicket-taker in the series, Mitchell Johnson.

"Something showed up on the X-ray that was a little bit inconclusive, so I had to go to an MRI and they have been sent back to the UK to have a look at," he told The Mirror.

"The treatment at the minute is a lot of ice, elevation, keep off it, because I want to play a part in this series. It won't be Monday, but hopefully in future.

"I will put my hand up to bat if it improves a little bit overnight and we need that, but I won't be bowling."

England are on course to lose The Ashes series for the first time since 2007.
