James Anderson says he was not considered for the England test captaincy

James Anderson is unlikely to bowl again in Lancashire's Specsavers County Championship clash with Yorkshire and PA Sport are reporting that he is set to have a groin scan on Monday.

The England paceman has not returned to the action since limping off midway through his sixth over on Friday morning.

And it has now emerged that the 34-year-old is unlikely to bowl again in the match and will have a scan on Monday.
