We want to rest Freddie whenever we can. We saw this as an opportunity the other day.

Simon Jones was so important and is going to be a big loss. It is a chance for someone like James Anderson to step up to the mark

It is a concern, as captain he has done well for us and he is a major player. We have always had this worry that in the future he might not be fit.
