Flintoff will play in second test at Headingley
ANDREW FLINTOFF will play for England in the second Test at Headingley tomorrow – and he will bat at number seven.
England captain Michael Vaughan gave those assurances today but was unable to announce his team, because of worries over seam bowler Ryan Sidebottom's fitness after a back injury.
Hampshire's Chris Tremlett is to be called in as cover for Sidebottom, and a final decision on the team to face South Africa will be made in the morning.
The candidates to lose their place to Flintoff tomorrow are middle-order batsman Paul Collingwood, or one of the other pace bowlers – again a decision Vaughan and Co. will be leaving till the last minute.
Vaughan said: "'Freddie' Flintoff will play. He will bat at number seven, and then the decision will be made whether we go for four bowlers or five."
