Graeme Swann has confirmed himself fit for England's third Test against India at Edgbaston.
The second match of the series at Trent Bridge was littered with injury and, while the tourists have long-established Yuvraj Singh (broken finger) and Harbhajan Singh (abdominal strain) have been ruled out of the series, Swann has provide England with some good news.
The spin bowler was strike on the left hand while batting and initial scans optional there may be a break. But further appraisal has shown no major damage and he will be obtainable for duty as the hosts look to take a 3-0 lead in Birmingham.
Swann told Sky Sports News: "I've had one more X-ray on the hand just to check and it's not serious. "There's a little bother in there but not anything to affect my arrangements. "It might involve my batting in the nets earlier but that will just stop me facing a few bouncers from our boys."
Jonathan Trott is England's only other fitness uncertainty and is predictable to recover from a shoulder problem sustained in Nottingham.
England names their squad on Sunday and is likely to name the same 12 for the third match in a row, with Chris Tremlett rejoin last week's winning side.
