England are sweating on the fitness of skipper Eoin Morgan for the remainder of the Twenty20 tri-series after losing to Australia by seven wickets in Melbourne.
Morgan was a late omission for Saturday night's match at the MCG after straining his right groin at training on Friday.
His side struggled
in his absence, setting Australia a target of 138 which they achieved with 27 balls to spare.
The injury could prove to be a major blow for England with stand-in skipper Jos Buttler admitting he was unsure whether Morgan would be available for the New Zealand leg of the series, starting with a clash against the Black Caps tomorrow.
"He got a little niggle yesterday in training," Buttler said. "I don't think we quite know the extent of it yet so we'll wait and find out."
