COVID case in England family group

Scott Bailey | December 27, 2021

The Ashes has been engulfed in another COVID-19 drama after a member of England’s family group tested positive to the virus.

England players remained back at their hotel just an hour before play on day two of the Boxing Day Test to have rapid tests.

It means the start of play will almost certainly be delayed, with Australia set to resume on 1-61 in reply to the tourists 185.
