Stuart Broad faces injury blow

England's Stuart Broad is on the verge of being forced out of the Cricket World Cup after suffering a side strain in Sunday's win over South Africa.


Broad told BBC Sport he was "pretty much a no-go" for Friday's match with Bangladesh. When asked if he would take any further part in the World Cup he said: "At the minute it's not looking so great."


An injury to Broad would be another blow to England who already lost Kevin Pietersen because he needs hernia surgery. He has now returned to England and was replaced by Eoin Morgan.


Chris Tremlett is likely to come into the squad should Broad be unable to continue in the tournament.


Cricket tickets for the World Cup and other matches are available now. Fans can also watch cricket live online.
