Marcus Trescothick missed the start of the second day of England's warm-up match in Perth to visit a a local doctor and receive a pain-killing injection on his right shoulder, which has troubled him since the tour to Sri Lanka two years ago.

Although the problem is not thought to affect his batting, there is inevitable concern about one of their leading players. Michael Vaughan (knee), Darren Gough (knee) and Simon Jones (side strain), are all recuperating while all-rounder Andrew Flintoff has flown to the Academy in Adelaide to continue his rehabilitation from a recent hernia operation.

Craig White flies in to join the squad today from Adelaide, where he has been playing grade cricket, as cover for Flintoff in the all-rounder's position.
