England wicketkeeper Matt Prior has emerged as a concern for the second Ashes Test against Australia, starting at Lord's on Thursady, after he struggled with a persistent Achilles injury during England's memorable first Test win at Trent Bridge.

The Mirror reports that the England Cricket Board's (ECB) top brass had ordered Prior to sit out of a cricketers' association golf event and rest to avoid aggravating the problem.

According to the report, Chris Read, James Foster and Steven Davies are other options, if a specialist wicketkeeper was required.
