England's James Anderson will be unable to bowl again in the remainder of the first Test against Sri Lanka, a team spokesman said today. And the 28-year-old Lancashire seamer is also now doubtful for the second of this three-Test series starting at Lord's this coming yesterday. Ashes hero Anderson twice left the field on the second day's play here on Friday and bowled just one over in the final session. Although he was fit to bat -- Anderson emerged as a nightwatchman following the loss of England captain Andrew Strauss late on Friday -- a post-play scan revealed a left side strain. Anderson was the pick of England's pace attack in Sri Lanka's first innings 400, taking three for 66. He was not required to bat before lunch on Saturday as rain washed out the whole of the third day's morning session.
