Flintoff doubtful for fifth one dayer v India

LONDON, Sept 1 (Reuters) England all-rounder Andrew Flintoff is doubtful for the fifth one-day international against India in Leeds tomorrow because of fresh concerns over his troublesome left ankle.

''Andrew has been experiencing some discomfort in his left ankle and did not bowl during practice today,'' said the England and Wales Cricket Board in a statement today.

''Andrew suffered a reaction following Thursday's match (in Manchester) and has undergone scans.'' The statement added a decision on his fitness for tomorrow's game would be made after further assessment.

Flintoff has had surgery on the ankle three times in his career, most recently in June.

England are 3-1 up in the seven-match series.
