Cricket: Captain Andrew Flintoff has been given the all-clear to continue leading England in the Ashes series after being re-assured about his troublesome left ankle.
The Lancashire all-rounder felt discomfort in the ankle, which was operated on in July, during the second Test in Adelaide and had to retreat from the field several times during the six-wicket defeat.
But after having a precautionary scan on the ankle at a Perth hospital, he has been re-assured there is no change in his condition and he is free to lead the side into the third Test at the WACA on December 14th.
