Tim Bresnan has been hit with an injury blow and is likely to be ruled out for England's warm-up match against an ICC XI tomorrow.

The bowler, who recently had surgery on his elbow, was forced to miss the side's practice session in Dubai yesterday after suffering a reaction during a bowling practice.

The 26-year-old all-rounder will have to partake in a match at some point in order to be considered for selection for England's first Test match against Pakistan in Dubai.

The Yorkshire cricketer is racing to be fit for the side's second warm-up match ahead of the start of their battle against Pakistan in under two weeks.
