Gus Atkinson increased England's injury problems when he left the field during Saturday's play of the fourth Ashes Test versus the Australians. Atkinson pulled up with his hamstring post-delivery of the fourth over on Saturday. The touring camp stated Atkinson reported "discomfort" and was to take time away from the action to undergo evaluation "during the day". The series decider of the series at the SCG starts on Sunday, 4 January. The visitors have already lost fast bowlers one seamer due to knee trouble and Jofra Archer to a side strain on the current trip. Matthew Fisher was added to the party to provide backup. His form was underwhelming in the opening two Tests, managing only a handful of scalps. He was left out of the third Test, then recalled for the Melbourne Test as Archer's replacement. The county bowler showed better form in Melbourne, bagging two scalps during the host's first knock, before adding 28 as a batsman as one of just three English batsmen who passed ten runs. Following a brief spell late on the first day, he returned on Saturday morning and had nightwatchman edging to the keeper. Unfortunately, at the end of that over, he bowled a change of pace to Travis Head and suddenly grabbed at his leg. Atkinson returned to the side for the fourth Ashes Test having missed of the third.
