England have call Jonny Bairstow and Jos Buttler into their NatWest Series squad after Ben Stokes suffered a reappearance of a finger injury.
Twenty-year-old Durham batsman Stokes, who has played in each of England's four matches so far against India, hurt himself on the eve of Friday's final fixture at the SWALEC Stadium.
England are previously 2-0 up, after a no-result at Chester-le-Street and then a tie at Lord's on Sunday, but have been disrupt by two other injuries already, which reduced them to 12 fit men to choose from - before Stokes was hit during batting drills today.
Eoin Morgan and Stuart Broad both succumb to shoulder problems, and Stokes took a blow to the right index finger he broke earlier this year and which has banned him bowling since.
Uncapped Yorkshireman Bairstow is thought to be the most likely to replace Stokes, if necessary - while Buttler, who was today playing in the final day of Somerset's county championship match next to Lancashire at Taunton, is call in as more general cover.
