England wont want to do without either of these influential figures this summer, but at least they have learnt to live without the big Lancastrian, and, bizarrely, even have a better record in his absence. Pietersen, on the other hand, is central to the England set-up over all three formats of the game for the best part of the next decade. Quite simply England need him fit.

Mixed News On Injury Front
Mixed injury news regarding England's two most high-profile players. Andrew Flintoff has bowled some practice overs off a full run-up, which is cause for cautious optimism. But, the more serious news regards Kevin Pietersen - with whom England cannot do without as they bid for T20 and Ashes glory. KP, it seems, will play the rest of the summer as he did Sunday's win over Pakistan - on painkillers. This clearly has worrying long-term implications.
