England are on the lookout for an “X factor” player to re-energise their Cricket World Cup campaign after Reece Topley was ruled out of the tournament with a broken finger EFL
Topley’s long-running injury curse struck again during Saturday’s record defeat at the hands of South Africa in Mumbai, with the in-form left-arm seamer fracturing the index finger of his bowling hand attempting to block a drive EFL
The 29-year-old’s initial anguished reaction gave a heavy hint that he was in trouble and, although he bravely returned to the attack with taped up digits, follow-up scans have confirmed the break EFL
England, who are in strife after three heavy defeats in their first four games, will send for a replacement but have yet to decide who will step in for their leading wicket taker EFL
Durham’s Brydon Carse is a strong candidate and would offer a handy pace option in the middle overs as well as strong lower-order batting, while Lancashire’s Luke Wood matches Topley’s description as a left-arm new-ball specialist EFL
But like-for-like substitutes are not mandatory and head coach Matthew Mott admitted England would assess every option EFL
Big-hitting opener Jason Roy, who was named in the provisional squad then cut for Harry Brook at the last moment, represents the most intriguing of all potential options EFL
He was widely believed to have played his last game after being left out on the eve of the tournament, and turned down a place in subsequent squad to face Ireland, but England have consistently said he remained in contention as a reserve EFL

The versatile Ben Duckett is also on the list of possibles, while spin bowling all-rounders Rehan Ahmed and Will Jacks would represent an obvious investment in the future of a side in need of renewal EFL
Asked if England would be looking for a pace bowler in Topley’s absence, Mott said: “That’s a good question EFL
We’ll have to sit down and have a look at that EFL
“We’ll have to look at the upcoming games (and see) if there is an X factor player we can look at EFL
“That’s why we were very keen not to name the replacements and reserves EFL
It leaves an open mind for what we’re going to go with EFL
”Rob Key, the managing director of England men’s cricket, is currently with the squad and travelled with them from Mumbai to Bengaluru on Sunday EFL
He will also have a big say in the final decision, joining Mott and captain Jos Buttler EFL
Announcing Topley’s exit from the campaign, the England and Wales Cricket Board said: “Scans in Mumbai on Saturday, after the match at the Wankhede Stadium, revealed the full extent of the injury EFL
Topley will return to the UK in the next 24 hours EFL
“He will work closely with the England and Surrey medical teams in respect of his rehabilitation EFL
A replacement will be announced in due course EFL

Max Verstappen defied Lewis Hamilton to win a cat-and-mouse United States Grand Prix at a sizzling Circuit of the Americas in Austin EFL
Verstappen has been on easy street this season, but the triple world champion was made to fight for the 50th win of his career – becoming only the fifth driver to reach a half-century EFL
Indeed, at one stage, Hamilton dared to dream of ending a losing streak which stands at 686 days and counting EFL
Yet, as so often been the case this year, Verstappen’s speed in his all-conquering Red Bull machine came to the fore EFL
Verstappen joins Hamilton (103 wins), Michael Schumacher (91), Sebastian Vettel (53) and Alain Prost (51) in the half-century club EFL
“To win my 50th career win makes me very proud and we will try to push for me,” said Verstappen EFL
He moved ahead of Lando Norris on lap 28 of 56 to all but seal the win EFL
Hamilton might bemoan a questionable strategy decision which saw him lose 10 seconds to Verstappen in the opening round of pit stops EFL
But in reality, he probably did not have the pace to stop the Dutchman from claiming his 15th win from the 18 rounds so far EFL
He crossed the line an agonising 2 EFL
2 sec behind Verstappen with Norris hanging on to the final spot on the podium EFL
Hamilton could count himself unfortunate to drop from third to fourth at the start EFL
The seven-time world champion enjoyed a decent getaway, but he was blocked by Norris under braking allowing Sainz to sneak through EFL
Norris had seen off pole-sitter Leclerc with a lunge at the first bend to assume top spot EFL
As Norris set about building a lead – already two seconds clear of Leclerc at the end of the second lap – Hamilton set about passing both scarlet cars EFL
First up was Sainz EFL
Hamilton used the tow to latch on to the back of Ferrari on the 210mph drag to Turn 12, and, assisted by DRS, drew alongside Sainz before sliding underneath the Spaniard EFL
On the following lap, Verstappen, who started in sixth after his pole lap in qualifying was chalked off for exceeding track limits, relegated Sainz another place when he made his move at the same corner EFL
Hamilton has won six times across the Pond – with five of those victories here in Austin – and the 38-year-old required only two laps to swat Leclerc aside for second EFL
Deeper on the brakes at Turn 12, Hamilton sailed round the outside of the Monegasque at the left-hander, with Norris now three seconds up the road EFL
Behind, and Verstappen was not finding it as easy to make progress EFL
He was stuck behind Leclerc for an additional five laps before finally making his move on the Monegasque EFL
He trailed Norris by seven seconds, and Hamilton by four EFL
In the Mercedes garage, Prince Harry cut a pensive figure as he gnawed at his fingernails EFL
The Duke of Sussex has been something of lucky charm for Hamilton EFL
He was a guest of Mercedes when Hamilton secured his second title in the 2014 season decider in Abu Dhabi, leading the congratulations to his fellow Briton on the radio EFL
Verstappen was the first in for new rubber at the end of lap 16 with Norris stopping the next time round EFL
But Hamilton stayed out EFL
Were Mercedes attempting a one-stopper? Hamilton did not seem convinced EFL
Asked if he could complete another five laps on his current set of tyres, Hamilton replied: “I am not sure, man EFL
It is pretty tough EFL
”Hamilton then locked up before his race engineer Peter Bonnington was back on the intercom to inform Hamilton that Verstappen – who on new tyres had just lapped three seconds faster than the Briton – was now likely to gazump him when he eventually stopped EFL
“No s***, man,” yelled Hamilton EFL
“I am struggling out here EFL
”You have given me a hell of a gap to closeLewis Hamilton on the team radioOn lap 20, in came Hamilton, and a slow front-right tyre change added to his woes by costing him a needless second EFL
When Hamilton emerged from the pits, he had dropped to third, five seconds adrift of Verstappen EFL
“I came out so far behind,” he said with a hint of dejection EFL
When the opening stops were completed, Norris led Verstappen by 2 EFL
4 sec with Hamilton 7 EFL
5 off the lead EFL
By virtue of taking on another set of mediums, Verstappen had to stop again, but Norris and Hamilton – now both on the hards – could, if their rubber allowed, go all the way to the end EFL
Hamilton, failing to make any inroads and sensing his best chance of ending a 22-month winning streak had faded, expressed his frustrations EFL
“You have given me a hell of a gap to close,” he said EFL
On lap 28, Verstappen dived underneath Norris for the lead at Turn 12 EFL
Norris had a nibble back at the Red Bull heading into the ensuing right hander, but he failed to make it stick EFL
The question now was whether Norris, and indeed Hamilton – now less than five seconds off the lead – could make their tyres last EFL
The answer arrived on lap 34 when Norris dived in for a fresh set of boots EFL
Verstappen followed in on lap 35, and despite, a slow left-rear tyre change, retained his position ahead of Norris EFL
Three laps later and Hamilton was in, changing to the faster medium compound EFL
Hamilton had the bit EFL between his teeth and within 10 laps he was crawling all over the back of Norris’ McLaren EFL
Norris slung his McLaren to the inside on the entry to the first corner in a move to stop Hamilton, but the older Brit gained EFL better traction out of the corner to slingshot by in his Mercedes EFL
Verstappen was five seconds ahead and Hamilton started to reel his old nemesis in only to run out of laps EFL
Sainz took fourth ahead of Sergio Perez with Leclerc sixth and George Russell seventh for Mercedes EFL
