Prior injures hand in warm up, could be Colly or if England bat will they fly in Ambrose who is at Edgbaston.
Prior news Collingwood's warming up with the gloves. No confirmed news yet. This is what he looks like with gloves on - he did it earlier this year against West Indies at Chester-le-Street.
Australia news "Four quicks," Miller says. "Hauritz has the catcher's mitt on." Sheesh. What a morning this is.
Prior news He's still being treated by the medical staff, the ECB say. Tim Ambrose is playing at Edgbaston this morning - will he be flown in? It's 125 miles from Edgbaston to Headingley, and play is only 50 minutes away. If England bat, they may be able to get him over.
Clark news Clark is definitely playing, says our man with his ear to the ground, Alex Brown.
Prior news it's not looking good. He's damaged his hand, we think, and Collingwood's - yes, Paul Collingwood - has been warming up with the gloves. He did it on a temporary basis earlier this year, much to his obvious amusement and enjoyment - but this is an Ashes Test, ergo the pressure is considerably higher.
"Lots of pats of the back for Stuart Clark," spots Andrew Miller, one of three Cricinfo guys at the ground. "And Matt Prior has just been taken off the field, looking injured. Trying to find out more. Looks like he might have damaged his shoulder doing a stretching exercise." And all this, after England were evacuated from their hotel at 5am owing to a fire alarm. What a morning. "No sign of Brett Lee on the field at all, by the way," Miller continues. "Might be trouble at t'mill in both camps." Certainly sounds like it. Fifty-five minutes until the start, and plenty and plenty and plenty to discuss.
